Where are the dreamers, I hear you ask? We're right here, arranging our candles into summoning circles and tending to the innermost wishes of our very soul. No, these aren't the likeliest games to surface from our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Summer Game Fest schedule 2025, but they're the oཧnes from which hope springs eternal. Without that, what would we have? Well, we'd have Silksong, but that's beside the point.

Below, the true believers of our team have gathered to pin their wildest hopes and dreams on this week's slate of showcases. If there's something you're desperate for, join us in trying to manifest it – disappointment is temporary, but the bragging rights from a truly left-field predicti🌌on coming true last forever.

For a more grounded glimpse into the future, our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new games 2025 list outlines everything we know is on the way

My guess as to why we might not be getting a Ubisoft Forward this year? Simply that Ubisoft doesn't have enough showable content to pad out an hour-long program. It's only just given us 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Assassin's Creed Shadows, after all, and with plenty of new content scheduled to come to the RPG as detailed in a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:recent roadmap, it makes sense that Ubisoft doesn't want to divert our attention from Naoe and Yasuke just yet.

But Ubisoft has been moving strangely in these pivotal days leading up to Summer Game Fest, and as an official partner of this weekend's LA festivities, I'm reluctant to believe that it has nothing in store…

Buying time

2025 has been a busy one for Ubisoft. Not only did Assassin's Creed Shadows finally launch after being delayed twice, the publisher recently 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:announced a partnership with Chinese conglomerate Tencent.

The deta🐽ils around the deal are still somewhat hazy, but this partnership essentially creates a dedicated "mini-Ubisoft" that will be handling some of the publisher's biggest IPs in future. As a result, the assumed lack of Ubisoft Forward this year is indicative to me that Ubisoft is trying to lay low until it's ready to tell us exactly what that means for named franchises like Far Cry.

However, you can't blame me or any fellow Ubisoft fans for getting a little antsy. The list of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming Ubisoft games is looking sparse now that Assassin's Creed Shadows is out in the wild, and when the new Rainbow Six Siege game launches a few days from now on June 10, it'll be shorter still.

But still, that's not to say there's nothing in the tank.🗹 I get wanting to keep Shadows in the spot♓light (pun intended) a little longer, given it barely launched two months ago, but Ubisoft would be missing a trick if it neglects to show off Anno 117: Pax Romana at Summer Game Fest this weekend.

The upcoming latest in one of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best city builder game franchises is currently sl💎ated for a "Winter 2025" release, but Ubisoft has yet to put a firm date on it.

Even a quick showing of the latest gameplay trailer would be useful to show fans that Ubisoft hasn't gone to ground completely, especially since it debuted said new trailer on two weeks ago and I'd somehow never caught wind of it until, well, literally just now. There's also the mystery-enshrouded Prince of Persia: Sands of Time remake on the cards, first announced in 2020, as well as 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Assassin's Creed: Codename Hexe and a huge question mark hanging over a prospective 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Far Cry 6 sequel – but now I'm getting greedy.

While I'd call it highly unlikely that Ubisoft's witchy follow-up to Assassin's Creed Shadows will get more than a mention (if anything at all) this weekend, the publisher has nodded to a different upcoming project in the lead-up to Summer Game Fest.

I'm talking about the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:cheeky Splinter Cell Remake tease that had fans thrown into a frenzy days ago, and now, it would almost be cruel to have us come away with nothing. Personally, I think this would be great to see during Sunday's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Games Showcase – though with a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:last-minute summer edition of Sony 🍌State of P✨lay now schedu🐭led for June 4, it's anyone's guess what Ubi has up its sleeve.

Sure, Sony might have proven that there's no such thing as being too late to the Summer Game Fest party, but I'm sไtill not expecting to see Ubisoft Forward announced anytime soon. Even without a dedicated showcase to gather all its ducks in a row, however, Ubisoft has the chance to still make a statement this weekend. Whether it chooses to illuminate some announced titles, go into more detail on the Assassin's Creed Shadows roadmap, or playfully tease us with an assortment of the two, I'll be keeping a beady eye o🤡ut for the publisher's presence – and hopefully next year, Ubisoft Forward will be back on schedule.

Don't miss the Future Games Show Summer Showcase on June 7, hosted by the one and only Matt Mercer

It's a buzz to be this close to so much creativity. Digital Dragons might not yet have the size and scale of 💎GDC, nor the community-first appeal of something like Gamescom, but Krakow's annual B2B gamedev conference is a whole other beast in🐎 itself – and everything I experienced over my four day excursion proves it means business.

Hive mind

Looking around the crowded glass-paneled interior of th🌟e Krakow International Conference Center, I remind myself that Digital Dragons wasn♏'t always such a huge event.

The first conference was hosted in 2012, and on a much smaller scale – 300 partners total, largely consisting of local Polish developers and publishers. But as of 2025, Digital Dragons has grown in popula𓂃rity, with its number of attendees having swelled to attract 2,300 participants from 53 countries this year.

There's a focus on building prestige here, a sense of "quality over quantity" as one representative from Krakow Technology Park put it, crafted through its framewoꦰrk of lectures intended for B2B audiences rather than the community feel of other gaming conventions. By effect, Digital Dragons harnesses the opportunity for industry professionals across Eastern Europe and beyond to show face, network, possibly recruit, and learn from one another's successes and setbacks.

This becomes especially important given how the event caters 💜not only to double and triple-A studios and publishers, but indie developers too.

The expansive Indie Zone on the ground floor fast became my favorite place to hang out between lectures, a maze of whirrไing computers and bright poster boards, each boasting indies of every genre imaginable.

Here, small studios set up shop to show off their works-in-progress alongside a handful of acclaimed released titles, like , and promising early access games such as . With survival horror gem 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历꧒史查询:Deep Sleep: Labyrinth of the Forsaken (winner of the convention's Indie Dragons award) on offer alongside 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Little Nightmares 3-style co-op adventure 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Bumpkin & Sprout, dark fantasy Witcher 3-meets-God of War combo 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Vranygrai, and every shade of indie in between, it was all too easy to simply while away the hours playin🐼g 𝔍demo builds galore.

But even if I had stayed on the grounꦬd floor for the whole convention, I don't think I'd have missed out. Digital Dragon's Indie Zone does not play second fiddle to its plethora of high-profile lectures mere doors away. Rather, it's integral to the whole experience.

From roots to shoots

"It's one ecosystem. So everything grows together," says Jakub Marszalkowski, representing Indie Games Poland Foundation, onꦏ the importance of championing indies at prestigious events such as Digital Dragons.

"This industry is growing in, as it was said already, a little b♒it of a grassroot process from the bottom up. So all the big companies w💯e have now, at some point were smaller companies. This – being independent – was an important part of it."

Shining a light on the exceptional talents of the Polish games sector is especially important given the country's historical contex🐼t. Since the fall of communism in the country as of 1991, Poland has been pushing to "catch up to the West," as Marszalkowski put it, and forge a new identity as a tech-savvy nation of creatives and opportunitᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚy.

With an estimated 15,200 individuals currently in the Polish gaming workforce – "which makes us, on talent pool size, bigger than Germany and somewhat parallel with France" – the country is🐭 already taking serious strides forward.

"We don't havꦆe that many other cultural exports," Marszalkowski says, referencing how Polish industries missed critical waves when it comes to music, film, and other creative booms post World War 2. "But the game industry, we were there from the very beginning.

"You probably have not seen many Polish movies, you probably have not listened to much Polish music, but you definitely know some Polish games. So this i𝕴s our most important – or maybe the only – cultural export, and we should re🍬ly on that a lot to have our voice being heard globally."

Passing the baton

This extends to amplifying the voices of not only current industry professionals, but emerging talents too.

During my trip to Krakow, we had a day excursion to the neighboring postindustrial city of Katowice, where the country's already booming game development scene is being supported through an impressive array of theoretical and practical ▨further education courses.

The effects of these꧂ sophisticated programmes is evident at Digital Dragons, where a team of young developers – Rabid Rat, the animation studio-turned game developers who created the aforementioned co-op platformer Bumpkin & Sprout – won the indie Be🌱st Pitch award on the final day of the conference, alongside Atomnius, an even younger cohort of gamedevs, who snatched the community vote.

The joy was magnified given that 11 Bit, winner of Best Polish Game for Frostpunk 2, had donated their swanky PC prize to the pitch award victor as an act of solidarity. Every studio has to start somewhere, and for a conference about prestig🐓e, there's no room for elitism here.

It was a heartfelt moment – and yes, I very nearly shed a little tear because of it – that perfectly encapsulated how iꩵmportant Digital Dragons has become for studios large and small. This conference is a rare chance for developers to celebrate their wins, even amid a growing spate of industry l🌸ayoffs, and find connection through the stress and pressure of their chosen career.

Digital Dragons is a reminder that, despite howཧ many excellent Polish games I've played and adored, the♍ best is yet to come – sooner than you think.

June is here, meaning 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Summer Game Fest 2025 is just around the corner! Here's a full list of the events to expect from June 6-8

This is the 11th year we've done the PC ༺Gaming Show, and it💮 will be hosted by Mica Burton, Sean "Day[9]" Plott, and Frankie Ward. We've got over 70 great games to show you, from 11 Bit Studios to Ubisoft.

With E3 2025 remaining an impossibility – the once great annual event now fallen by the way side in favor of SGF, the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Summer Game Fest 2025 schedule is the new tome to follow – the likes of Xbox, Steam, PlayStation and Nintendo are present, bringing info on the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new games of 2025 and beyond! Over the decades, it's events like these that are lynchpins of the gaming calendar, and really show what the future of gamin💝g will bring across specific announcements, yes, but also highlight the trends that will continue to shape the industry. The countdown to Summer Game Fest 2025 starts here!

2K

While we may be treated to updates and announcements surrounding 2K's premier sports titles such as WWE 2K25, NBA 2K, and more – the publisher has some real big adventures on the way. We expect 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Borderlands 4 to steal the show, the upcoming zany sci-fi co-op shooter looking set to bring the looter back to its roots in a big way as soon as September 12. Only a few months ahead of release, it should be a blow out. Additionally, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Mafia: The Old Country is releasing even sooner – August 8 – and promises to be a focused single-player story experience. We're salivating to find out more about what that means. We'd also love to finally see something from the long-awaited 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:BioShock 4… could this be the time? Just don't expect much more from GTA 6 though, Rockstar marches to its own drum, and we just got a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:massive new GTA 6 trailer for that as well as a delay to 2026.

505 Games

If our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Blades of Fire review is any indication, 505 Games is in a really solid place right now with their slate of published games. While you can always expect plenty in the pipeline from them (I'd already be eager to get some Blades of Fire DLC, but I may be dreaming), it's Wuchang: Fallen Feathers that's they're next big release. If they're at the show, they're bound to be telling us more about this huge title from Leenze. Inspired by Chinese mythology, it aims to use the setting to offer a new twist on the soulslike genre, and it's shaping up to be seriously🐽 impr♔essive so far.

Bandai Namco

2025 has already been a big year for Bandai Namco, but the publisher still has some absolute mammoths on the near horizon, and we expect to hear at least some news for the long-awaited 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Little Nightmares 3. Currently, the Supermassive Games title is slated to launch in 2025, so it's more than possible that a release date gets announced during a showcase. The same could be said for Digimon Story: Time Stranger, which similarly only has a 2025 release window at the moment. As massive RPG fans, we're hopeful for something 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Blood of Dawnwalker shaped as well, but considering that game was only announced 🍃in January this year, it may not make the showcase cut.

Blumhouse Games

Blumhouse Games may be a relatively young publisher (having only been founded in 2023), however, it currently has five games in development, and we're betting that we'll see at least a handful during Summer Game Fest. If you're a cozy gamer,澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:꧒ chances are that yoಞu've heard of Grave Seasons (a farming life sim with a serial killer twist). The game was announced in June last year, so we're due an update, and we expect to see it during either the Wholesome Direct or the PC Gaming Show. Fingers crossed, we get more insights iღnto Blumhouse Games' other horror titles as well in the later showcase, looking at you, Project C.

Capcom

Resident Evil 9 would be the dream, we know. However, looking closer to reality, it's more likely that Capcom's involvement in the Summer Game Fest will center around its 2026 title that was announced at the end of last year. We're talking about Onimusha: Way of the Sword, the upcoming entry to the samurai Onimusha series. It's also possible that Capcom may be in the lineup due to Nintendo. Street Fighter 6 is a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Switch 2 launch title, and we could be seeing more of it as it's one of the best offerings for the upcoming console. Personally, we're hoping for some Okami 2 news, since that was also revealed last year. Fingers crossed that Capcom meets all our high e🍰xpectations.

CD Projekt

In terms of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming CD Projekt Red games, let's be honest, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Witcher 4 is going to be the star of the day. We got our first trailer for the new RPG during the Game Awards 2024 livestream, though we still don't know a release window. where they will be "showcasing some of the innovative technology & features that will power The Witcher 4, and beyond". Cyberpunk 2077: Orion (the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel) also 澳洲幸😼运5开奖号码历史查询:recently got a pre-production update, so there's a chance it'll ꦡmake an appearance in some capacity♌ as well.

Devolver Digital

Devolver Digital actually has a lot going on currently in terms of games in active development, so we expect to see quite a few offerings from the publisher pop up throughout Summer Game Fest. Since Nintendo is going to be involved, we're betting that the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming Switch 2 game, Enter the Gungeon 2, gets some kind of news (hopefully a release window). Skate Story is also overdue for an update and still needs a 2025 release date. Starseeker: Astroneer Expeditions is also another cross-platform 2026 outing that has a lot of eyes on it, so we wouldn't be shocked to see it appear in some capacity as wel🐼l. However, Devolver Digital is known for throwing wild curveballs, so potentially we could be looking at some fresh, never-before-seen indie announcements as well. Devolver Digital is always a fun wild card after all.

Dotemu

In terms of SGF partners, Dotemu is definitely one of the smaller ones in terms of games in development. However, although the line-up isn't massive, it does come with one of our most anticipated 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming Marvel games and a new outing in the iconic Ninja Gaiden series. Marvel Cosmic Invasion was recently announced to be heading our way sometime in 2025, as was the 2D platformer Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound. We'll likely see both of these titles at some point, hopefully with release dates in hand. However, at 🌠least we can rest easy knowing that there will be plenty of pixelated beat em up action, regardless. I mean, what else could you expect from ninjas and superheroes, right?

IO Interactive

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Project 007 has a new title – 007: First Light, and is set to receive its full reveal this week. No doubt, this is tying into Summer Game Fest. The dev studio already mastered assassination espionage with Hitman, so we're shaken, stirred and everything in between to see how they tackle the good guy spy himself. Also, it's easy to take the series for granted following the release of Hitman 3, but the whole Hitman World of Assassination package does continue to update and do quite well. This year is a big momentꩲ for it as well, as it'll be ౠcoming to Nintendo Switch 2 allowing players to take their hits on the go. It might even end up being one of our favorite Nintendo Switch 2 games if it comes out well.

Mundfish

The release of Atomic Heart must have gone well, because – that aims to help other developers get their games out there and breakthrough to audi🐈ences. Alongside the announcement, the developer also revealed Atomic Heart broke through 10 million players in total – not too bad. Given the SGF partnership, we'll likely hear more about the Powerhouse initiative, and what games they have planned for their first wave of publishing.

Neowiz

We really enjoyed this developer's Pinocchio-inspired take on soulslikes in our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Lies of P review back in 2023. The studio has continued to bring updates to the adventure since release, and we're now barrelling close to the Summer 2025 launch window for its major Lies of P: Overture 🅺DLC which brings a new chapter as well as diffi💟culty options. Summer Game Fest 2025 will be occurring over, well, the summer – so expect to hear more about the DLC. We'd also love 💮to hear what Neowiz has planned next, but we understand they'll want to focus on tying the bow on Lies of P so far.

Nintendo Switch 2

Considering the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Nintendo Switch 2 itself launches on June 5, its early launch days overlap with Summer Game Fest 2025 directly – which makes me anxious just to type out. Regardless, expect plenty of information on the launch lineup from the show, detailing the likes of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Mario Kart World for those still on the fence about purchasing. While there's certainly lots of announcements Nintendo could make about the year ahead for the hardware, it's the imminent release of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Donkey Kong Bananza that's sure to be in the spotlight, given its ♒July 17 launch date. As the big new open world platforming adventure, this feels like the biggest showpiece for the system at the moment in gꦺeneral.

Pearl Abyss

The Black Desert Online developers have more than a few new project irons in the fire, so to speak. The colorful monster catching DokeV hasn't had an update in so long it feels like it's due for a bit of a re-reveal, but we're not holding our breath. More imminent is 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Crimson Desert, which has been making the rounds at various showcases before SGF 2025. A single-player open world medieval-style fantasy adventure, what we've seen has been breathtaking, and the boss fights we've gone hands-on with have showcased twit꧃chy combat. We're still waiting to see how it'll all come together, and waiting for a firm release date. Here's hoping we find all that out and more𓆉 come SGF 2025.

PlayStation

There's so much coming up for PlayStation that we're desperate to hear more about, but let's at least try to begin realistically. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Death Stranding 2: On the Beach from Kojima Productions is sure to have a final big showcase ahead of its June 26 release date. Likewise, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Ghost of Yotei, from Sucker Punch Productions – the sequel to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Ghost of Tsushima – is creeping ever closer to its October 2 launch, and we're due a deeper dive into the systems in a showcase at some point soon. It also feels like Saros, Housemarque's spiritual successor to Returnal, could put in an appearance. Whether Marathon will be there, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:given the recent scandaꦐls around its art, remains to be seen.

Further off, but still possible, is 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Intergalatic: The Heretic Prophet, Naughty Dog's latest which looks to be a departure from The Last of Us and Uncharted – but it may be too early to see more on this yet. Also, given how much we loved Insomniac Games' latest in our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Spider-Man 2 review, we're desperate for more from them, especially when it comes to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Marvel's Wolverine. Likewise, co-op heister 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Fairgames remains a bit of a mystery, as do several unannounced projects from some of their top studios like 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:God of War: Ragnarok developer Sony Santa Monica Studio, or what's next to followup on 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Horizon Forbidden West from Guerilla Games.

Sega

Sega have so many games cooking it's hard to know where to begin, while at the same time feeling due to announce some kind of higher profile spotlight game. Could we get a new Sonic platformer? Yakuza 9? Skies of Arcadia Re-Legended? (Okay, let me have one spot to manifest). One thing is clear, Sega are big supporters of the Swit♏ch 2, with launch games Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S and Yakuza 0: Director's Cut releasing imminently, and the likes of sort-of-Persona-spin-off Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army getting a remaster that'll also be on the system.

Beyond Switch 2, Sonic is still doing his thing. The actually-q🍸uite-good-looking Sonic Racing CrossWorlds is due in🐼 2025, so expect more details on that. On the smaller screen, Sonic Rumble is meant to be coming to mobile – but was recently delayed – and Persona 5: The Phantom X is a🦩lso set to finally release 🌸in English soon. Meanwhile, Shinobi: Art of Vengeance will be the first in Sega's series of legacy revivals, coming 29 Aug. Will we finally see more from Jet Set Radio, Golden Axe, Cr🗹azy Taxi, and Streets or Rage as well?

Square Enix

For such a huge publisher, there's actually a lot up in the air with Square Enix at the moment, so it'd be great to get a firmer picture for how its biggest series are looking to evolve next. Namely, with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询♍:Kingdom Hearts Missing Link f🍸or mobile cancelled and a recent new glimpse at 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Kingdom Hearts 4, are we due a bit of a blowout for the Disney crossover RPG? It'd be great to get some more news on what's next for Final Fantasy, be it 澳洲෴幸运5开奖号﷽码历史查询:the surely-on-the-way Final Fantasy 17 and Final Fantasy 7 R꧙emake Part 3, which will close out the redo tr🌌ilogy. Other than that, Dragon Quest 1 & 2 HD-2D Remake, w﷽hi🎶ch we enjoyed going hands-on with, will likely put in an appearance ahead of its Oct🌼ober 30 release.

Steam

🦄澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Could it be? 🀅Is it finally time for Half-Life 3!? Probably not. But, well, we can dare to dream. We're a little unsure quite what Steam themselves may be doing at SGF 2025, but if we had to put money on it we'd bet they don't have much in terms of games software, but perhaps hardware instead. The SteamDeck seems to have been a success – we certainly loved the hardware in our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Steam Deck OLED review – and it'd make sense that Steam as a platform may continue in this direction. Never a company to silo themselves, it's likely more 'portable PC' devi💃ces may partner with Steam to bring its OS to devices.

Supermassive Games

The stalwart horror developer who ran screaming into our hearts with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Until Dawn continues to release some solidly spooky games, and they've got two upcoming that are sure to be represented at SGF 2025 that we can't wait to see more about. Directive 2080 is a sci-fi thriller that🧸 looks more than a little chilling, and is the latest in their Dark Pictures anthology of frights (though the series' titling is now – and perhaps wisely – minimized). They're also working on Little Nightmares 3, a standalone third entry in the uneasy platforming series, picking up the reins from creators Tarsier Studios (澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:who are working on their own neღw thing: Reanimal).

Techland

Parkour-centric zombie series Dying Light continues to be a delight, and the developer has a followup to 2022's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Dying Light 2 due later this year: 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Dying Light: The Beast. Seeing the return of original protagonist Kyle Crane, this started development as DLC before transforming into its own thing. Likewise, Kyle can now transform, using his titular🦩 beast powers to ♛dominate the forested environment like we've never been able to in the series before. Beyond this, Techland is also working on some not-quite announced projects like a fantasy game – but we'd expect them to remain focused on telling us more about Dying Light: The Beast for now.

Xbox

The platform holder isn't just at Summer Game Fest 2025, but has a whole 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Games Showcase airing on🉐 June 8. We'll be digging deep into everything Xbox is bringing, but it'll be a fascinating time to get to grips with where Xbox is in the industry at the moment. Rumors abound about all sorts, including t෴he possibility of new hardware – though it sounds like that mi𝓀ght not be kicking around this year after all. But,༒༒ anything can be an Xbox now, or so they say.

In terms of games, Xbox have just come off releasing 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Doom: The Dark Ages through Bethesda. The big new release this time around will be 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Outer Worlds 2, as Xbox have already announced it'll receive a dedicated Direct following the broader showcase. We're also hoping Xbox Game Studios will tell us more about 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Gears of War: E-Day, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:State of Decay 3, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Clockwork Revolution, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Perfect Dark – which feel like they're due more info soon. Further off, and games we'd really love to hear more about but have been light on info for a while are the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Fable reboot, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Marvel's Blade, Everwild, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Elder Scrolls 6. They've got to tell us more sometime, right?

For more future releases, check out our guides on all the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming PS5 games and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming Xbox Series X games.

Ubisoft, Failbetter Games, Dev🐽olver Digital and Astra Logical will all bﷺe part of the PC Gaming Show 2025, which will broadcast on Sunday, June 8 at 12pm PT / 3pm EDT / 8pm BST across Twitch, YouTube, Steam, and more.

5. AI

Love it or hate it, AI is the current industry hot topic. From Nvidia's DLSS frame generation squeezing extra juice out of your hardware to Microsoft Copilot giving you real-time tips for games like Minecr🅷aft and Overwatch 2, AI is taking many forms in games, some more helpful and wanted than others. A new AI-generated trailer for Ark absolutely bombed, 🐷and no one is willing to take responsibility for it.

Some developers are even experimenting with generative AI-powered NPCs. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Ubisoft has launched Project NEO NPC, its internal team dedicated to making these NPCs more realistic. It could just hire writers to do that, but what do I know? CEO Yves Guillemot says to "expect a lot from gen ꧑AI in our games, to make our games more interesting and for people to really have a personalized experience." Whether we like it or not, there's going to be more AI in our games in the ne𝔍ar-future, but how we respond to it could determine if it stays.

4. Open world fatigue

Games are simply too long and too big these days. We all have a limited number of hours in the day, but with live-service games demanding we do daily missions and single-player games lasting 100 hours or more, it's impossible to see everything, and it's hurting our ability to explore in games. Former GTA 6 and Red Dead Online developer Cameron Williams explains why it's so hard to get us to actually look around.

Williams explains a lot o🍌f us are dealing with "open world fatigue." There are only so many 100-hour open-world RPGs I can play before I need a 3-hour action-heavy chaser.

He also notes the problem of "analysis paralysis". If there are too many things to do, we often can't decide what to explore next and ﷽end up just doing nothing.

Maybe we'll see fewer open-world games𝓡, or more that are like Breath of the Wild and Elden Ring, offering a more hands-off approach and letting us discover the worlds at our own pace.

3. Don't listen to your boss (sometimes)

No one likes taking orders from their boss, but we all have to. That is, unless your name is Xalavier Nelson Jr. and you just want to prove your boss wrong. The head of indie studio Strange Scaffold, Nelson Jr. and his team have been making weird and wonderful games for years now, from Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator and Clickolding to I Am Your Beast and El Paso, Elsewhere, which is getting a movie adaptation. So, when he says he wants to make a match-3 game just to prove his pu𓂃blishers wrong, you can be sure that's what he's going ♑to do.

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion 3 is a metroidvania match-3 game that looks absolutely absurd𒅌, but it's proof that you can make whatever game you want, no matter what the current industry trends are.

Helldivers 2 CEO Johan Pilestedt also got a telling off by PlayStation higher-ups after he told us all to wait to buy the game until the servers had settled down. It then "took five minutes until I got a call fr𝓀om the friendly people oꦬver at PlayStation asking what the f**k I was smoking. 'Don't recommend that people do not buy your games' - it's incredibly conventional wisdom." We like the no-nonsense attitude of Arrowhead and its developers though, so I think the community is glad he gave some honest advice instead of just telling us to buy the game anyways.

2. It's all about balance - or is it

Helldivers 2 exploded onto the scen♕e last year and quickly became everyone's favorite co-op shooter. Its satirical take on fascism had us all roleplaying as good little Super Earth soldiers, and it's been getting constant updates. Not all of them have been well-received, tღhough.

As a multiplayer game, balance is important. Or is it? "Balance is a myth. Fun first, balance later," says Helldivers 2 CEO Johan Pilestedt. "Game designers nowadays are obsessꦦed with balance. Balance is 5% of the work that you should be ꦏdoing. It's the polishing state of game design. If you start thinking about balance and using that as the method for success, you're an idiot." Strong words.

"Balancing is not game design," he continues. "Game design is about experience. If you balance out all the chaos, you've made an uninteresting game. Balance is the polishing of the object, and if you smoothen that out too much, it will j🎐ust be a non-experience."

Sometimes, developer Arrowhead would nerf a weapon it thought was being used too frequently, or tone down a stratagem that was a bit too good at killing Terminids, but that's simply no fun. We love Helldivers 2 because it's fun to feel like a super soldier who can call down a school district's yearly budget's worth of high explosives onto a single enemy. Now, the u💫pdates seem more focused on making us feel more powerful, not less, and most of us are happier because of it.

I hope we see more weird and wonderful games and weapons that absolutely break the me♒ta just because they're fun, rather than everythi🦂ng feeling the same in the name of fairness.

1. Diversity in the games industry is essential

There's been a sustained push against diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the last y💮ear or so from a lot of loud, powerful people. It's strange, because worldwide but . Those figures get even smaller when considering non-binary and queer people.

Luckily, GDC 2025 had multiple talks about diversity in the industry, 𒁏from the talk and the roundtable. I like a sad dad video game as much as the next gamer, but variety is the spice of life, and I want to keep seeing more games made by people with different experiences to me so I can live out different lives and see the world through the eyes of as many fascinating characters as possible.

5. Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead was asked to give a talk at the United Nations

Yeah, you read that right. During the ♛"Helldivers 2: Capturing Lightning in a Bottle" talk, Arrowhead CEO Johan Pilestedt announced that the United Nations had been in touch to ask if members of the studio would be up for giving a talk about "psychological defense against manipulation."

Helldivers 2 is a fascist parody wherein the citizens of𒀰 Super Earth are indoctrinated into a fight against otherworldly bugs and bots, much like th𒆙e plot of Starship Troopers. "We asked ourselves, 'could we brainwash an entire community to fight for a fascist state? Would they? Would we be okay with that?'," Pilestedt said. "And turns out, yeah, actually."

Lots of us have had fun roleplaying in Helldivers, thrꦦeatening to turn our teammates in for undemocratic thoughts. Is that proof we're easy to manipulate, or were we all in on the joke?

4. Honor of Kings: World had a closed playtest

Honor of Kings is a game that's incredibly popular in China and relatively unknown elsewhere. You should know it though, because it was the highest-grossing mobile game of 2024 - and allegedly the "world's most played mobile MOBA". It's a 5v5 like League of Legends, and Honor of Kin♈g🧸s World is an open-world action RPG spin-off coming to PC🐼 and consoles, set within the same world as the mobile game.

It's been almost four years since it was first announced, and its Monster Hunter-style seems to have changed into something more akin to Genshin Impact. Some luck𒈔y people have been able to try it out in a secretive playtest, but the rest of us will have to make do with a trailer. Hopefully we get to read people's impressions soon.

3. Netflix is getting its first MMO, a cozy co-op life sim called Spirit Crossing

Netflix's gaming ambitions have been all over the place these last few years. It had high hopes but has seen cancellations and layoffs, just like the rest of the industry. Spirit Crossing is a piece of interesting new🐓s though. Its trailer shows off a cute cartoon aesthetic, and we see characters gliding around and building houses on mountaintops.

I'm curious to see how an MMO will work on Ne🔥tflix. It has the infrastructure for sꦗtreaming, so maybe this will be the first multiplayer game to launch without server issues.

2. Balatro wins Game of the Year at the Developer's Choice Awards

Could it have been any other game, really? No, I don't think so. Balatro has become an absolute phenomenon. I struggled with it at first because I actually know how to play poker, so unlearning all of its rules and realizing sometimes, a pair is better than a royal flush was difficult, but once the game clicks it's unbelievably moreish. We definitely 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:don't play it at work during meetings.

It also won Best Design, Best Debut, and the Innovation Award. Solo developer LocalThunk has worked incredibly hard on Balatro, but he warns others 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:not to look to him for advice because "I only have one data point."

1. The first industry-wide North American video game workers union has been made

It🔜's been a rough few years for the video game industry. We all flocked to video games during Covid lockdowns, and so a lot of numbers on many spreadsheets went up, but once we could go outside and started putting the controllers down, some of those numbers didn't go up as fast as they had been before. Developers have borne the brunt of this, with thousands being laid off in the last couple of years. Add to that the historically poor way those in quality assurance (QA) get treated, many studios enforcing a return to office work, even for remote workers who live halfway across the country, and the use of AI in development, and it's easy to see why developers need a union.

Some studios and departments have successfully organized in the last few years, such as Activision Blizzard, Bethesda, ZeniMax, and CD Projekt Red. Most of the unions in North America were formed under the Communication Workers of America guild, but now, the UVW-CWA has been created.😼 It's t๊he United Videogame Workers union, and it works jointly with the CWA.

This is a landmark union as any artist, writer, designer, QA tester, or programmer in North America can join. It doesn't matter if they're a freelancer or a full-time dev, and they don't need the rest of their workplace to join; they can become a member independently of any🍃 employer. Its mission is to "not only build community and solidarity amongst video game workers, but also to build large-scale educat🐬ion campaigns about labor organizing in the video game industry."

The♔ union hosted a rally and a launch party at GDC, and I hope a lot of people sign up for it, as there's strength in numbers. This union is a beacon of hope after years mired in darkness.

We have a🍰ll the details on when it kicks of🍃f and the links to your streaming platform of choice, so you're ready.

This year's show features over 50 tit𒁃les from various developers and publishers, including Nightdive Studios, Remedy, Tarsier Studios, Xbox Games Studios, and Bloober Team.

All of this wouldn't be complete without some wonderful hosts, and this show is presented by Jennifer English,꧃ the actress behind Baldur's Gate 3's Shadowheart and Nolan North, Uncharted's Nathan Drake.

Sound good? Read on to find out where to find your 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Future Games Show stream of choice and when it kicks off.

How to watch The Future Games Show Summer Showcase 2024

You can watch The Future Games Show Spring Showcase on March 20 at 1pm PT / 4pm ET / 8pm GMT. Here's how to watch it on your platform of choice, or you can bookmark this page to come back and watch it later right here 🦹on GamesRadar+.

As for what games we'll see, highlights include deep-dive interviews with the team behind South of Midnight, a look at FBC: Firebreak, and a tonne more games, both brand sparkling🧔 new and hotly anticipate𓂃d. Regular sections like Ones to Play are returning, featuring games with demos you can play once the show wraps up.

Once the show is done, the Future Games Show team is bringing us a new experience called FGS Live from GDC, which, as you'd expect, is the team live at GDC with even moꦕre trailers, dev interviews, and more.

To keep up with all the latest Future Game Show updates, you can check in on this orange website or follow along on , , and .

GDC 2025 is taking place from March 17-21, and as always it’ll feature workshops, talks, and presentations from notable figures in the games industry. More than most gaming conventions, GDC is geared toward developers rather than fans and players. It's where the creators of your favorite titles go to network, learn from one another, and otherwise have the conversations you’ve always wanted to be a fly on🌊 the wall for.

That’s not to say nothing “new” gets announced at GDC each year. There’s usually a keynote presentation or two to showcase some big new reveals - never forget that this was where Google revealed Stadia in 2019, for example. GDC is also home to theܫ Game Developers Choice Awards, an evening event that will fall on Wed♋nesday, March 19 this year. This is another Oscars-like celebration of the previous year in gaming, where awards like “best indie”, “best debut”, and “Game of the Year” are handed out.

The conference takes place at the Moscone Centre in downtown San Francisco, and this year, it’s said to play host to 750 sessions over a 5-day period. Some standout presentations from this year’s event will be a Level Design Summit talk from Anna Oporska-Szybisz, who will discuss “The Mystery of the Remake” after her experiences working on the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Silent Hill 2 Remake at Bloober Team. Also appearing is Arrowhead’s Johan Pilestedt, who will give a lecture about 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Helldivers 2 titleඣd “Capturing Lightning in a Bottl✤e”. Remi Boutin from Ubisoft will also be in attendance and will discuss blending modern Metroidvania elements with challenge and reward after their work on Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown.

There are loads of amazing and insightful events taking place at GDC this year, and if you don’t believe me, just look at . It’s where the voices of developers really get to be heard, and knowledge can 👍be shared between studios that otherwise wouldn’t get the chance to meet. Given the last year in the games industry, there’s bou🎉nd to be some interesting chat about the use of AI, layoffs, and live service models.

While attendance at GDC is both expensive and usually reserved for people who actually make games, the incredible is an unrivaled way for fans to get more insight into how their favorite games ar▨e crafted. Talks are added to it every year, so if you want🐟 to learn more about this unique medium, that might be a wallet-free way to start.

As Microsoft previously revealed, we're getting in-depth looks from the developers themselves on the likes of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Doom: The Dark Ages, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:South of Midnight, and a mystery new game. While rumors of an Oblivion remake are doing the rounds, Xbox marketing VP Aaron Greenberg has we&apo♍s;re seeing a bran🌞d-new game, which may disappoint some and delight others. For now, you can speculate what that'll be. 

Before all of that, though, you'll need the low-down of how to watch the Xbox Deve🐲loper Direct 2025, from the day and time it kicks off to where you can catch a stream to watch it. For all of that, simply read on.

Xbox Developer Direct 2025 time

This year's Xbox Developer Direct 2025 kicks off at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm GMT on January 23. While🎐 Microsoft hasn't confirmed how long this one is set to run for, these broadcasts typically last for 45 minutes, so we'd expect the same here. 

Xbox Developer Direct 2025 stream – how can I watch it?

You can fi൲nd a stream for Xbox Developer Direct 2025 on , , and more. As always, if you turn up 10 minutes early, you'll likely find a countdown to the broaﷺdcast already live, so get your snacks and turn up with some time to spare to ensure you don't miss anything. 

And there you have it, everything you need to know to prepare for the Xbox Devel𒉰oper Direct 2025. A new Doom game is sure 🐻to grab attention, though you can't help but wonder what mystery game Xbox has up its sleeve.

Here are the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best Xbox Series X games to experience on Microsoft's flagship console - we can only hope the showcase has something we'll be adding to that list real soon.

This year, theꦓ PC Gam𒆙ing Show Most Wanted takes place on December 5 at 12pm PST / 3pm EST / 8pm GMT / 9pm CET. You're spoiled for choice where to watch it, too, as you can tune into , , and more at the links provided. Dedicated streams with localized subtitles like Spanish, Chinese, Arabic, and more will also be provided.

The PC Gaming Show Most Wanted is presented by regular host Frankie Ward and narrated by 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Baldur's Gate 3's Amelia Tyler. Expect new t♈railers, announcements, and behind-the-scenes visits to various studios across the globe. 

Highlights include a quick-fire question-and-answer session from Avowed game director Carrie Patel, more on sci-fi RPG Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector, and much more, like another look at Killing Floor 3, The Thing: Remastered, and BioWare veteran Mike Laidlaw's next game Eternal𓄧 Strands.

And then you've got the "Most Wanted" part, naturally. A group known as "The Council," which includes over 80 industry luminaries and content creators, is voting to decide what 25 PC games are worth your attention next year. On said council, you've got a range of well-known industry devs like Doom&ap💖os;s John Romero, Fallout and Wasteland veteran Brian Fargo, and many more.

Who knows, maybe some of what you'll see will join our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best PC games list in the not-so-distant future.

The Golden Joystick Awards 2024 will kick off on Thursday, November 21, at 8am PST / 11am EST / 4pm GMT / 5pm CEST. You can watch the show💎case on , , Facebook, , and more.

Watch the Golden Joystick Awards LIVE below

This year, over 125 games, studios, hardware, and TV shows aﷺre represented across 21 categories, with the winners decided by the public, such as Ultimate Game of the Year, Most Wanted, Best Gaming Hardware presented by EE Game Store, and Studio of the Year. Then you've gotꦉ three categories decided by an expert panel of journalists and content creators: the Streamer's Choice Award, Breakthrough Award, and Critics' Choice.

There are also new awards to reflect the times, such as Still Playing - PC & Console and♎ Still Playing - Mobile. You can also vote for the Best Game Adaption, which honors the best game adaptation to the silver screen that year.

So far, Astro Bot and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth lead 𝔍the shortlist with six nominations each, followed by Helldivers 2 with five🐼 nominations and Balatro with four nods.

As for who is presenting this year, Final𝓀 Fantasy 16 Clive Ro꧂sfield actor Ben Starr is hosting, though you'll also see plenty of familiar faces such as Bald🎉ur's Gate 3 stars Neil Newbon and Samantha Béart and much much more. 

To break up the action, you've al♑so got video game composers Lucia La Rezza and Mark Choi, who will perform music from several games featured in the award categories alongside some classics for good measure.

You can see all the Golden Joysticks 2024 award categories and nominees here.

Leading the field with seven nominations apiece are PlayStation exclusives Astro Bot and FF7 Rebirth, narrowly ahead of Metaphor: ReFanta꧂zio with six nominations. Those three games are up for the big Game of the Year award, joined by Black Myth: Wukong, Balatro, and Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree.

The Game Awards have been around for a while now, though this year's nominees🤪 were always going to be a bit different. That's because, per the website FAQ page, "expansion packs, new game seasons, DLCs, remakes, and remasters" are eligible for a judge's consideration. Shadow of the Erdtree's position in the main GOTY award is testament to that, as are Silent Hill 2's various nods across the categories.

"The Game Awards aims to recognize the best creative and technical work each year, irrespective of the format of that content's release," the reads. "Expansion packs, new game seasons, DLCs, remakes, and remasters are eligible in all categories, if the jury deems the new creative and technical work to be worthy of a nomination. Factors such as t𝄹he newness of the content and its price/value should be taken into consideration."

The call makes enough sense, especially in a year where the likes of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Silent Hill 2 Remake have landed to critical acclaim. How many awards wil𓂃l either snag? You have just under a month to find out who will win what. The Game Awards kick off on December 12 and will be available to watch on and .

First things first, if you'd like to watch the Nintendo Direct you'll want to head to just before 7am ꧑PT/ 10am ET/ 3pm BST. Y🍬ou've got 40 minutes of reveals ahead of you so bring a snack or two. 

We'll be covering the news as it happe🅺ns, so don't fret if you need to step away or close a tab while watching on company time if your boss walks by.

Nintendo might not be talking about the Switch 2, but we can catch you up. After oodles of reports and rumors, Nintendo revealed on May 7 that, yes, the Switch successor is a thing and something that'll be shown off properly 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:"within this fiscal year."

It all adds that ꧑sense of 'will they?' before each new showcase. Regarding this Direct, though, they will not. 

So what are we getting? As for first-party 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming Switch games, it looks a tad light. Luigi's Mansion 2 HD and Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition are due this year, but we don't know of much else. Perhaps that means the Direct will be dominated by third-party games, or we could be in for some surprises. A selection of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upgraded Zelda classics for Switch has been rumored for ages, after all.

One thing I'm sure many would like to see is 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Hollow Knight: Silksong. Mind you, the Microsoft Store recently stated that we'd have to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:wait a🎐nother 7,974 years to play it, which is mean and perhaps a sign not to get tꦗhose hopes up. Dare we dream, though?

Just under one hour to go until𒁃 showtime, gang! Grab those snacks if 🐷you need 'em.

There's bꦏeen some that we may see Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi's throwback RPG Fantasian released beyond Apple Arcade. Now, if you'll excuse me, I&apos꧅;ll be spending the next 40 mins trying to manifest the rumor into being.

And with just over 20 minutes to go until this thing really kicks off, you're now stuck with me, GamesRadar+ US Managing Editor Rollin Bishop, for the remainder of this flight.

How are we all?ܫ H⛄ydrated? Ready for anything? I know I am.

It does seem worth noting that I still hold the same opinion that I did at the end of May: it really feels like Nintendo might just coa𓂃st directly into the Switch 2. While I'd love for some big, huge surprises out of today's Nintendo Direct, I'm꧃ also pretty content with what I already have on my Switch. (I wouldn't turn my nose up at a surprise Unicorn Overlord expansion, however.)

That said, 40 minutes is an awfully long time. And this is Nintendo we're talking about; Directs have a history of being short, sweet, and to the point. If the company is spending this long in a Direct alone, that sounds like something particulaꦍrly beef💧y is on the horizon.

We only have 10 minutes left until w🎀e all collectively find out what, exactly, thatඣ might be.

And look, if this is the last truly significant Nintendo Direct during the OG Switch's time as the main attraction, it'd be lovely if this were a total blowout, wouldn't it? I'll ready my clown makeup, just as Mr. Harris did, but for me it'll be about 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Metroid Prime 4.

And here we go!

Promising start to see Luigi and Mario off the bat. A port or remake of one of the mobil🌺e RPGs, maybe?

Mario & Luigi it is! But in true-blue 3D. Looking good, fellas. How long has it been since a truly new one of these? Bec𝓰ause that's what this actually looks like.

Gameplay here looking like a solid translation of how this worked on the handheld consoles.

Mario & Luigi Brothership is coming November 7, 20🦩24.

First new entry and almost 9 years, according to Nintendo. Described as a seafaring ꩵadventure across multiple islands. And on to the next!

Seeing some gameplay from Nintendo Wཧorld Championships: NES Edition. We already knew this was coming, but it's interesting to🌠 see challenges in there.

Honestly I'm still thinking about Mario & Lui💎gi Brothership. Look at my boys!

Fairy Tail 2 from Koei Tecmo. Launching this winter. Bi🔯g year for anime games, if that's your thing.

Fantasian! It's real! It's escaping Apple Arcade🔜!

New name though. Fantasian Neo Dimension launching this holꦯiday.

Basketball is being added as a f꧃ree update to the Nintendo Switch Sports game. Two-on-two matches with motion controls, basket challenges solo or multiplayer. Online play for the two-on-two matches. So if you've really been gunning for more sports games, look forward to this summer.

Now what is this atmospheric lovely little thing. Some kind of roboti🦄c platformer and world. Weird sad robot alert.

Mio: Memories in Orbit coming 2025.

New Disney Illusion Island update available later today! Kind of an overlooked little fun title in my opinion.

Hello Kitty game also escaping mobile next year, and Looney Tunes Wacky ♏World of Sports coming this fall.

New crewmate and impostor roles 🙈being added to Among Us! Why this is in the Nintendo Direct, I don't know, but it's coming out later today.

Another anime-looking game called Farmagia with designs from the creator of Fairy Tail. Seems like you grow monsters in the ground like produce? And then use them to fight. A little bit Stardew Valley, a little bit Monster Rancher. But without the CDs.

November 1, 2024 on Nintendo Switch.

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is also cominౠg to Nintendo Switch! It's Donkey Kong Country Returns but in high definition. That's... that&ap༺os;s just what it is.

Two-player local co-op! 80 levels total, including those from the 3Dᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚS version. Releasing January 16, 2025.

The time is nigh... for the Dragon Quest 3༒ H❀D-2D Remake. Looking good! But then HD-2D is basically made specifically for me.

This thing looks absol🔴utely gorgeous, and I suspect many folks won't be familiar with the original, so they'll have plenty to look forward to when it releases for the Nintendo Switch on November 14, 2024.

Also! Dragon Quest 1 & 2 HD-2D Remake 🐼🔴set for 2025! Nice completion of the trilogy there.

It💖's just a bit of key slash concept art, but all my friend🌞s are here.

Funko Fusion is up. I... I'm sorry, the gameplay and puzzles and such all seem interesting but I can't get over my personal aversion 🧜to Funkos. September 13, 2024 on Nintendo Switch.

Luigi's Mansion 𓃲2 HD! It's Luigi's Mansion 2 but in high definition. June 27, 2024, which we already new.

The New Denpa Men... This is one for our very own Dustin Bailey. Free to play, July 22, 2024 on Nintendo Switch. I&☂apos;m not sure what I just saw, if I&apoဣs;m being honest.

Deckbuilding Metal Slug? Be still my heart. Metal Slug Attack Reloaded out on⛦ Nintendo Switch later today.

Darkest Dungeon 2 is coming to Nintendo Switch. It's Darkest Dungeon 2 on the Switch! July 15, 2024, pre-order𝐆s later today.

Zelda: A Link to the Past Four Swords is comingℱ to Nintendo Switch Online! Metroid Zero Mission too! And N64 Mature titles are coming -- with Turok: Dinosaur Hunter. And Perfect Dark! If you can believe it!

With online multiplayer! My gods. All ℱof this available later today.

A new Phantom Brave? What year is this?? Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero is coming to Nintendo Switch. Co🦂💮ming 2025.

Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection Arcade Classics is coming to Nintendo Switch this year. Whole mesღs (7?) of fighters and brawlers in here. That includes Marvel vs. Capcom 2.

It's a new Mario Party! Super Mario Party Jamboree. Lots of little minigames, as usual, acros♚s what appears to be new game board with some returning.

Over 100 minigames. T💃hat's a 🍌lot of ways to get mad at your friends. Up to 20 players can compete online in a specific mode (Koopathalon?). Launching October 17, 2024 for the Nintendo Switch.

And there it is, folks. They'🎀re officially doing more Zelda remakes in the style of the Link's Awakening one. Wait! No! A new game! The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom with playabl🅷e Zelda.

Friendship ended with Link, now Zelda is 🃏new best friend.

The big mechanic here has Zelda creating "echoes" of various things prꦺeviously encountered. Rocks you can throw, monsters that fight by your side. Differe🌜nt monsters are useful in different situations -- "wisdom is key after all."

With no Link, the fate of the kingdom is now in Zelda's hands. There are apparently a lot of echoes in the game to use that can be solved in different ways. (Briefly shown is making a bunch of beds to climb.)

September 26, 2024 🦹launch for The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom with a special Switch Lite as💎 well.

Andꦡ, after the reveal of a new Zelda, Just Dance 2025 Edition. Tough🌸 act to follow.

And here's Nintendo talking about Lego Horizon Adventures, which isn't exactly surprising. Locations inspired by the original game. 𒆙Blast boots and gravity bombs can be used. Aloy rebuilds her h🌳ome over time and can wear a bunch of outfits like... a hot dog. Two-player local or online co-op. Launching this holiday on Nintendo Switch.

Stray! On Nintendo Swit﷽ch! I feel like we knew this was com💖ing, but maybe that's just my brain making things up again. Cyberpunkish kitty platformer/puzzler on a new platform is always welcome, though. Holiday 2024 on Switch.

Tales of the Sh🍎ire! It's Animal Crossing with Hobbits. Holiday 2024 on Nintendo Switch. Seems fine? Seems fine.

Ace A𒊎ttorney Investigations Collection! Including a title that wasn't released outside of Japan previously. New hand-drawn visuals, but you ෴can also swap back to the sprites. A nice gallery of art and designs and music. Launching September 6, 2024 on Nintendo Switch.

Danganronpa-looking strategy 🍎RPG? Lasꦇt Defense Academy?

The Hundred Line Last Defense Academy, launching early 2025 on Nintendo Switch. As🐟 expected, from the Danganronpa people.

Romancing Saga 2 remake, Romancing Saga 2: Reveꦯnge of the Seven, coming to Nintendo Switch as well. Turn-based battles "evolved" into timeline battles. Lots of decisions to be made that will change𓄧 the story. Launching October 24, 2024 on Nintendo Switch.

Last announcement time! And it is...

It's real. It's really really. Metroid Prime 4 exists and they are showing it here and now. (No clown makeup for me, but apologies to Mr. Harris and his Silkso🤡ng desire.)

Nothing terrible unexpected here, to be honest? It look💖s like a Metroid Prime game but on the Nintendo Switch. First-person camera and all.

Official title seems to be Metroid P🦩rime 4: Beyond.

Coming 2025, seems𓆏 like? "Please wait 𝕴a little bit longer."

And that's it! We're all done hereꦬ. Whew. That was a big one.

Now, that's not to diminish any games that are set to release before the end of this year, because there are a lot of fantastic-looking 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new games en route. However, there's a certain gravitas to the broad strokes of n🤪ext year's releases that means 2025 is going to be a huge year for the games industry. 

Xbox's sparkling 2025

Let's start with Xbox. While its Xbox Games Showcase was impressive (despite the backdrop of the recent studio closures and layoffs), it strangely failed to date the two big exclusive Xbox games due to land this side of the Holidays - 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Avowed. Of course, the Avowed release date has since leaked from Obsidian itself but was hastily deleted, suggesting that Microsoft has deliberately held back the duo of dates for another announcement beat. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 of course is another of Microsoft's big focuses for 2024, with the perks of the Activision buyout now in full swing, but despite coming to Xbox Game Pass Day One, it's still legally bound to keep COD a multiplatform release - or at least for th🌜e next five 🅷years at least.

However, the Xbox Games Showcase did give us a fantastic look at what Microsoft's plans are for next year, with so many of the Xbox first-party titles featured during the Xbox Games Showcase sporting loose 2025 launch windows. Doom: The Dark Ages, with its skull-crushing gun and dragon-riding is arriving sometime next year from id Software, as is the awesome-looking 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:South of Midnight from We Happy Few developer Compulsion Games. My own personal wishlist-topper, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Fable,🔜 is also now penciled in💃 for 2025 with developer PlayGround Games absolutely nailing the series' brief with each hilarious, but seriously moreish, trailer. 

2025 is clearly the year where all of Microsoft's investments are going to pay off. Yes, there are still some AWOL titles - 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Everwild, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Contraband, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Outer Worlds 2 - but with its 2025 slate coupled with long-awaited fresh looks at State of Decay 3 and the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Perfect Dark reboot, it finally fe🙈els like we're getting the results of Microsof🌳t's long-term release vision in 2025.  

Nintendo and PlayStation lining up

The same can probably be said for PlayStation too, which is having probably its quietest year since the PS5 launched back in 2020. As I wrote off the back of May's State of Play showcase, while Concord and Astro Bot look great, they are a symptom of the weird year PlayStation and the PS5 is having. PlayStation has always said that it wouldn't be releasing any "major existing franchise titles" before April 1, 2025, which suggests tha🐻t 2025 is going to be a more traditional year for the platform holder - even if we have much less of a clear idea what the PS5's 2025 will look like. 

It's a similar story for Nintendo too. Although it has said it is doing some kind of Nintendo Direct in June, that's yet to be dated, so we're currently a little in the dark as to what both 2024 and 2025 look like for Nintendo Switch gamers. Well, with one rather large caveat - the Nintendo Switch 2. Nintendo says it will announce its next-gen Switch successor "within this fiscal year" – so before March 31, 2025 – with the launch expected to fall sometime in 2025. With such a huge stake in 2025 for Nintendo, you'd imagine that this 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:next model Switch will need to be joined with some beefy launch titles. My money's on 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Metroid Prime 4 and Super Mario Odyssey 2. 

2025 at large

If you look outside the platform holders too, it's even clearer that 2025 is going to be a h🦩uge year for games. The newly announced Civilization 7 was🗹 immediately penciled in for 2025, with the highly-anticipated strategy game launching simultaneously on PC and consoles for the first time. Bound to be absolutely massive on PC in particular, it's certainly going to be one to watch. 

Capcom also delivered us two utterly gorgeous 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Monster Hunter Wilds trailers in the last few weeks, showcasing all kinds of new fea꧙tures, improved graphics, and even a new monster for its open-world title. It's certainly been one of the standouts of the show for me, and not just because your Palico c🎀an apparently talk now. Knowing how fervent the Monster Hunter community is, this huge series' entry is going to cause quite the stir.

And for the shooter fans, one that stands out already for 2025 is Marvel Rivals. With so many hero shooters currently on the books for this year and 🌠next, it'll be interesting to see how another attempt at a multiplayer Marvel game holds up. 

And that's before we've even addressed the mammoth-esque elephant in the room that is Rockstar's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA 6. Knowing how colossally Rockstar's releases usually take over the year they're released in, I'd imagine that there's going to be quite the bum shuffle of developers desperately trying to get out of the way of the GTA 6 release date. Currently, it's just set to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:launch sometime in Fall 2025, which could well mean that the earlier months of next year are more jam-packed with AAA releases or at least there's less of a cluster around those holiday months. It could well be that 2025 becomes a year not unlike 2023, with the likes of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Baldur's Gate 3, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Marvel's Spider-Man 2, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Alan Wake 2ಞ havi🌟ng been much more evenly spread throughout the year.

The Black Ops 6 Direct is just 🦋one part of a packed lineup of gaming showcases taking place over this busy not-E3 season, with Summer Game Fest itself kicking things off for us as the first major broadcast yesterday, followed by Day of the Devs and the Devolver Direct. 

However, the Call of Duty stream is definitely one to keep an eye on if you're looking forward to the next Black Ops installment. Its global reveal is set to take place during the Xbox Games Showc🧜ase, but it'll then get a full deep-dive in its own section afterwards, showing us Basically, it'll work like last year's Xbox Games Showcase + Starfield Direct did, existing as its own dedicated broadcast, but attached onto the end of Xbox's own stream.

So, what time will it be taking place, and where can you watꦑch it? You can scroll on down f🍌or all the details.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Direct start time

Since it's part of a double-feature broadcast, the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Direct is set to begin immediately after the Xbox Games Showcase ends on Sunday, June 9, which itself is scheduled to begin at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm BST. Unfortunately, Xbox is being rather se🌄cretive and hasn't given away how long its own showcase is, which means it's not clear exactly what time the Black Ops Direct section will start. For comparison, though, last year's June Xbox Games Showcase lasted for just over an hour before heading into a 45-min꧟ute-long Starfield Direct, while the year before that, June's Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase ran for one and a half hours. 

However, the official Call of Duty notes that fans should tune into the Xbox Games Showcase "for the worldwide reveal of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, followed immediately by the Black Ops 6 Direct," so it sounds like some of the game will be shown even before Direct itself. Therefore, it definitely se𒊎ems like it's worth tuning into the whole thing, even if Call of Duty is your sole focus.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Direct stream – how can I watch it?

You can tune into the C🍸all of Duty: Black Ops 6 Direct as part of Xbox's double-feature broadcast across , , and . Th✤ere'll also be an American Sign Language stream running on . 

Keep up with all of the gaming streams happening over the coming days with our handy 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Summer Game Fest 2024 schedule.

Microsoft is keeping its cards clos𒁏e to its chest, saying we can expect "a first look at new games from Xbox Game Studios, leading creators, and partners from around the globe." That, and we'll also see updates on previously revealed games and what's coming🐎 to Game Pass. 

As to what those💧 games might be, your guess is as good as ours. Starfield’s Shattered Space expansion is due to release this fall, so a peep at that would make 🅠sense. There have also been of the next Gears of War game rearing its head, though we'll need to wait and see if that comes to be. 

Mind you, we do know that we're getting a good look at Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, though it doesn't quite count as that's getting a showcase to itself after the Xbox Games Showcase ends. Still, I rather think I pre🍃fer going into some﷽thing totally blind, don't you? 

Thankfully, we do know when the Xbox Showcase stream kicks off ൲and where you can watch it, so read on for those nuggets of information.

Xbox Games Showcase 2024 start time

The Xbox Games Showcase for 2024 starts at 10am PDT, 1pm EDT, and 6pm BST on June 9. Once it's wrapped up, the Black Ops 6-focused showcase is due to begin. While Microsoft hasn't confirmed how long the Xbox Games Showcase runs for, last year it was roughly one hour before we jumped into a Starfield Direct. That's not toꦉ say this year's showcase will be the same, but it's something to work with.

Xbox Games Showcase 2024 stream – how can I watch it?

You can find an Xbox Games Showcase stream on , , and , where you can watch them, too. As always, each live stre💧am will likely go up five to ten minutes before the broadcast is due to begin, so get your drinks and snacks and settle in.

So let's count down to the big showcase by running through some of the things we expect to sౠee, and some that we really hope make an appearance.

Let's start with what we do know is going to make an appearance. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Monster Hunter Wilds got its full reveal at the latest PlayStation State of Play,ꦦ but the second trailer is going to drop at Summer Game Fest live. 

The trailer is said to contain a "new monster reveal", with Capcom&ap🐬os;s Ryozo Tsujimoto taking to 🎐the stage to talk us through the new footage and reveal fresh details about the game. 

It's set to launch in 2025, so don't expect a release date but after that State of Play trailer we⛦'re definitely keen to see more. 

Here are series producer Ryozo Tsujimoto, game director Yuya Tokuda & executive director/art director Kaname Fujioka to tell us🃏 a little bit more.

Another confirmed showing for Summer Game Fest is Dune Awakening. Currently without a release date, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Dune Awakening is an open-world survival MMO set on Arr🎐akis with all of its 🏅deserts and sandworms. 

At Summer Game Fest, we𒐪're going to get a "very special story cinematic reveal" from developer Funcom for Dune Awakening, so it&ap⛎os;ll be interesting to see what that looks like in the wake of Dune Part 2 hitting cinemas earlier this year. 

Our very own Dustin Bailey previewed the game earlier this year. After spending some time with the game, he said Dune Awakeni꧅ng aims to be a true survival MMO - first by makin𓃲g you survive Arrakis, then by making you survive politics. 

I🌳f you're exci☂ted for this one, definitely give that a read. 

We also know that Summer Game Fest will play host to the world premiere of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Slitterhead gameplay. That's the new horror game from Silent Hi🌺ll creator Keiichiro Toyama and Bokeh Game Studio.

Unfortunately, the trailer leaked earlier today on Bokeh Games' own YouTube channel, confirming the November relꦺease date and showcasin🍌g some seriously horrific monsters.

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is also getting a fresh trailer at Summer Game Fest. The sequel was only actually announced in April, so we&apo𓆏s;ve not seen that much of it yet. 

What we do know though, is that Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is twice as big as the first game, has revampedꩲ combat "to make it more accessible," but stays "true to the core RPG experience".

in fact, the developer is confident enough in the game to say that it's everything t🌱he first RPG "was supposed to be in the beginning".

Atlus's upcoming JRPG Metaphor: ReFantazio will also be making an appearance d𒈔uring Summer Game Fest. The game, which is a medieval fantasy adventure from the Persona developers, takes place in a world where people have to fight their own anxiety.

While it's unclear what exactly might be shown during SGF Live, if anything significant, Atlus is h♉osting an extended show🦩case later tonight about Metaphor: ReFantazio at 6pm PDT / 9pm EDT / 2am BST.

Given everyth🔥ing we already kno𒉰w about Metaphor: ReFantazio, including the October 11, 2024 release date, it's hard to say what all we might learn today from any sort of appearance during the event or the showcase after.

One thing's for sure: Metap🍬hor: ReFantazio director Katsura Hashino and Shigenori Soejima, known for many Atlus character designs and artwork, will be "taking the stage" during Summer Game Fest.

Speaking of Japanese games, it's also known that Bandai Namco is bringing the long-awaited revival of the Budokai Tenkaichi franchise, Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero, to Summer Game Fest. If you're not familiar with the fighting game, you might at least recall hearing about it having 164 different ro🎐ster slot with at least 11 of those b♓eing different Gokus.

There's no release date for the new Dragon Ball title as of yet, so it seems fair to ass🙈ume that we might get one to💦day. Up until now, the various promotional beats have been tied to revealing new fighters, so that's somewhat of a gimme as well.

If you're more keen on indies and the like, there's good news: SGF Live basically backs right into Day of the Devs: Summer Game Fest Edition 2024. Day of the Devs wi🔥ll be live as part of the same stream after SGF Live and feature a whole bevy of different indie games that will likely resonate with folks that enjoy our regular news and feature coverage.

A small sample of what's expected to appear as part of Day of the Devs: Summer Game Fest Edition 2024: Afterlove EP, Koira, While Waiting🌟, Tom the postgirl, Psychroma, Building Relationships, UFO 40, Karma: The Dark World, Zoochosis, Hello Again, Phoenix Springs, Arranger: A Role-Puzzling Adventure, and Screenbound. You don't have to just take my word for it, either. There's if you'd like to know more.

When it comes to possible unexpected sho♛wings at SGF Live, frankly your guess is as good as mine at this po꧂int.

Trying to figure out what might possible appear at SGF Live vs. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox's own showcase on Sunday, June 9, for example, feels a bit like trying to get blood from a stone. Could Xbox show Avowed? Sure. But why would it? And we already know BioWare and EA have 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:a big Dragon Age show🌳case set for next week, so why wඣould The Veilguard make an appearance here? ♔Marketing plans are opaque and mysterious, though, so who even knows.

On the ot♌her hand, we don't have long to wait!

But, 🃏we're now just give minutes away from Summer Game Fest live!

And that's a wrap folks. 

We've pinned everything that was announced at Summer Game Fest 2024, but we'll be b♈ack here later with more news and opinions from Summer Game Fest. 

We're back - first up, a hot take on the best weapon to show up in SGF - the combination trident/blunderbuss that was the star of💯 the show in the Enotria: The Last Song trailer. If you're looking for a soul♔slike to play later this year once the Shadow has settled over th💞e Erdtree, you could certainly do worse.

In case you stuck around after the close of SGF, you might have seen an extra handful of games from Day of the Devs and Devolver Digital. One of those, which was almost guaranteed to catch our eye, was Tenjutsu, a martial roguelike from one of the deve✨lopers behind the acclaimed Dead Cells.

One of the biggest games going into this show was Monster Hunter Wilds, which seems as though it could be even bigger than first thought. That's thanks to a double reveal during SGF - confirmation of seri🧔es-first cross-🌳play, and the debut of a couple of very important monsters.

Another big game coming in was Black Myth: Wukong - currently the most-wishlisted game on Steam. Sadly, it was bad news for some, as it was announced that the game's Xbox releas🐲e would slip behind the PS5 and PC launch. Still, the game continues to look great.

Meanwhile, a whole bunch of smaller games were announced all at once, sort of, thanks to Among Us developer Innersloth, which has created its own in⛄die game fund called Out🅠ersloth. It's✅ already backed a bunch of game🐭s, including a slick spaceship roguelike.

That's all for today! Check back fo⛎r more ongoing Summe🌳r Game Fest coverage tomorrow. We'll have hands-on impressions, interviews, and more coming in straight from the show floor. 

If you noticed that Xbox was conspicuously absent from Black Myth: Wukong's pre-order splash page last night, then well caught. Developer Game Science confirms that the game will now arrive on Xbox sometime afteꦬr PS5 and♔ PC users get it on August 20.

A presꦚs release from the dev says of the deluxe and collector's editions, "Note that a release date for the physical editions is pending," before adding that "release timing for the Xbox Series X|S version will be disclosed at a later time." 

If you're looking for more goodness from Atlus before Metaphor: ReFantazio releases on October 11, then you're in luck! 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:A new trailer for Persona 3 Reload reveals that its biggest expansion yet, a game-sized DLC covering the JRPG's epilogue, is releasing on September 10. That o🔴ught to keep you busy for one month.

One of the more out-there moments of this year's event so far is the circulation of a billboard mourning the loss of the studios that have been closed over the past year, hovering near the SGF campus in Los Angeles. Although it doesn't really pull any punches, the five-figure display was nearly even more aggressive in its criticism - until its organizers realised it should be about the peopl♕e who lost the🍷ir jobs, not the execs who cut them.

While it's not directly related to SGF, Capcom's come out with a nugget of wisdom for those of you waiting for one of the most high-profile games of the show - Monster Hunter Wilds - but who aren't too keen on burning a Rathalos-sized hole in your wallet. During its recent financial results, the company suggested that fans who weren't keen to drop $70 on a new game need only wait 🗹five years for the🔴 price to drop - potentially as low as just five bucks.

We've touched on Black Myth: Wukong a couple of times already, but alongside all those people who've put in on their wishlists already, one very high-profile fan has announced their anticipation for the game. Hideo Kojima waded in to admit thatꦅ Black Myth: Wukong has been on his mind for three years, and that ♒he can't wait for its full release🍃.

If you don't share Kojima's fondness for Chinese soulslikes, however, how's this for a change of pace: Grave Seasons combine🦩s Stardew Valley wholesomeness with a spooky, supernatural sꩵerial killer vibe, just to really ensure y𓃲ou don't know who to trust, even in the coziest of games.

Two more Summer Game Fest sho🧸wcases down! Xbox Games Showcase was a stellar line-up particularly for 2025, an☂d then we got a deep dive look into Black Ops 6 at its dedicated Direct. 

BioShock 4

Release date: TBC
Platform(s): TBC

It's been five years since we heard anything about 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:BioShock 4.  Would you kindly change that for us please 2K? We're expecting it to be open-world and first person, but ⛄that's only from job listings and vague teasers from the studio. It could be a prime candidate for a big Summer Game Fest reveal. 

Metaphor: ReFantazio

Release date: October 11, 2024
Platform(s): Xbox Series X, PC

This is Atlus' first original project and it's an RPG set in a dazzling medieval fantasy world. It's destined to turn some heads this year, just as it did at i💦ts original reveal at last year's Summer Game Fest. It's out this October too, so will no doubt definitely be part of Keighley's extra🦋vaganza. 

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree

Release date: June 21, 2024
Platform(s): PS5, Xbox Series X, PC, Xbox One, PS4

With just a few weeks left to go until 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Elden Ring's big expansion, I'd be surprised if there wasn't one more WTF trailer left in FromSoft. A suitably chin-scratchy 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:launch trailer full of mysteries and more questions𒈔 than answers would be perfectly placed for a drop at Summer Game Fest.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle

Release date: TBC 2024
Platform(s): Xbox Series X, PC

Only officially revealed earlier a few months ago, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is coming out later this year. With Xbox and Bethesda poised to host their showcase on Sunday, June 9, Machine Games' next epic should take pride of place in the spotli🌳ght. Show me more of that whip in action, immediately. 

Slitterhead

Release date: TBC
Platform(s): TBC

We've not seen 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Slitterhead since its reveal at the Game Awards back in 2021, so a full gameplay reveal could well be on the cards for SGF. It's the new title from Silent Hill creator Keiichir🅺o Toyama and it's easily one of our most anticipated upcoming horror games. 

The Sims 5

Release date: TBC
Platform(s): TBC

Okay, this is probably a long shot but EA and Maxis have been quiet on 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Sims 5 - aka Project Rene - for over six months now. Initially we were getting a drip feed of early development pr🌠ogress, but there's been no fresh info since January. Is that because we&apo🍌s;re gearing up for a bigger reveal? Let's hope so.

Borderlands 4

Release date: TBC
Platform(s): TBC

We know that Summer Game Fest will reveal "the next iteration in one of 2K's biggest and most beloved franchises". In ✅the year of the Borderlands movie, surely that can only be referring to Borderlands 4? Claptrap would approve. 

Assassin's Creed Shadows

Release date: November 15, 2024
Platform(s): PS5, Xbox Series X, PC

We've only just seen 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Assassin's Creed Shadows emerge from its codename, but we're excited to see more of this samurai and shinobi duo. With Ubisoft Forward set for June 10, we'd expect to see a lot more of this Feudal-Japanesꦅe adventure very soon. 

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6

Release date: TBC
Platform(s): TBC 

It's a pivotal year for Call of Duty, with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Black Ops 6 being the first to launch post-Microsoft buying A🎉ctivision. It's launching Day One on Game Pass, that we do know, but the full reveal of the next COD is getting its very own special stream directly after the Xbox Games Showcase.

Dragon Age: Dreadwolf

Release date: TBC
Platform(s): TBC

We haven't had a new Dragon Age game for a decade, and now we know that EA and BioWare is going to do a full reveal of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Dragon Age Dreadwolf at Summer Game Fest. All we&apo💮s;ve really had so far is some concept art and a very෴ brief teaser trailer, so we're more than pumped to see what our next adventure across Thedas is going to entail. 

GTA 6

Release date: Fall 2025
Platform(s): Xbox Series X, PC

Okay, okay we know this is far-fetched but we'd all be grateful for even a tiny slice of fresh 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA 6 footage. Rockstar no﷽toriously just does its own thi🐭ng when it comes to new trailers and reveals, so we'd imagine an SGF showcase is unlikely, but hey, we can dream right?

Star Wars Outlaws

Release date: August 30, 2024
Platform(s): PS5, Xbox Series X, PC

Easily one of the most anticipated games of 2024, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars Outlaws is going to share the main spoℱtlight at the Ubisoft Forward with Assassin's Creed Shadows this year. We definitely want to see more gameplay, fresh info on our heroes Kay and Nix, and learn more about what to expect from Massive's ambitious open-world Star Wars game.

Fable 4

Release date: TBC
Platform(s): Xbox Series X, PC

It's been a full year since we saw 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Richard Ayoade as a giant in the first official 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Fable 4 trailer. Wꦇith no release date or even vague window, I'm not expecting it to launch this year, but I'd love to see more of what Playgro෴und Games is doing with this quintessentially British RPG. 

Starfield: Shattered Space

Release date: Fall 2024
Platform(s): PC, Xbox Series X, Xbox One

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Starfield has been on a bit of a journey since its launch last year, but after the big May update all eyes are on the first major expansion - 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Shattered Space. With an expeꩲcted release somet𝓡ime later in the year, we should get to see more of it at SGF. 

Metroid Prime 4

Release date: TBC
Platform(s): Nintendo Switch

One last one for the tin hat speculation, but 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Metroid Prime 4, where are you? First revealed back in 2017, it's been rebooted, changed developers, and been utterly utterly AWOL. Nintendo's set to reveal something this SGF... will Metroid Prime 4 finally get some kind of reveal just in time for Nintendo to announce the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Switch 2?

The showcase comes after PlayStation 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:made some serious changes to its business, canceling several unannounced projects, making heavy layoffs, and closing the PlayStation London studio altogether. It followed that with making leadership changes, promoting two PlayStation veterans to the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new SIE CEOs to replace the noꦏw long-departed Jim Ryan. With all of those changes, Sony vowed it would unveil its new "long-term vision" and the important role SIE will play in it, but s🌺o far, it feels like more of the same. 

Hermen Hulst, as part of the vision, said the plan is to have "at least one tentpole single-player launch during the holiday season" every year. If we go with the current confirmed dates from last night's State of Play and previous announcements, it feels bizarre that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Astro Bot will potentially act as that single-player focus for 2024. While I'm a huge fan of the little fella and its whimsical platforming ways, it's not exactly reaching the same audience as the likes of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:God of War, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Horizon Forbidden West, or any other of its core single-player IPs.  

A slower Sony year

That shouldn't really come as a surprise though, as PlayStation has been fairly upfront about its lineup for this year. Sony Group president Hiroki Totoki said back in February that Sony wouldn't be releasing any "major existing franchise titles" before April 1, 2025 (sorry Astro Bot). Instead, the focus was on giving studios time to develop the next wave, and a continued push into live service titles, which i𓂃s clearly where Concord comes into play. 

The new IP from developer Firewalk Games marks a new FPS era for Sony, which hasn't really had its own first-party FPS series for some time now. Concord looks like it's Sony's answer to Overwatch - a 5v5 multiplayer FPS, complete with a roster of heroes to choose fromꦗ and a weekly vignette drop to give more backstory to each of them. In fact, it's so unashamedly Overwatch that you'd imagine Blizzard's hackles were immediately raised.

The live service strategy was also echo🐭ed by the console release announcement for Marvel Rivals in the State of Play. Another PvP hero shooter, this time from NetEase rather than one of Sony's own st🃏udios, it's another tick in the live service box for this year on PS5. 

The full package

Of course, that also helps reinforce that while the State of Play was more muted from Sony's side of the proceedings, it was balanced by good showings from its partners. Monster Hunter Worlds' full reveal was an impressive 🐈one, with Capcom's RE Engine making all the difference under the hood. We finally got the Silent Hill 2 Remake release date too, with the upcoming horror release nipping in just time for Halloween. Even Infinity Nikki got an excited rumble from the GamesRadar+ team thanks to its Pokemon Snap meets Breath of the Wild vibes. 

Sony also leaned into its repeated pledge to make PC releases a part of its strategy, by bringing 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:God of War: Ragnarok to PC with all the appropriate bells and whistles this September. It remains part of the strategy to have a large gap between the original PS5 launch and the PC port though, with PlayStation's CEO thinking that PC gamers will buy a PS5 for exclusive sequels rather than just waiting for the inevitable PC-specific release. With games like 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Helldivers 2 proving that simultaneous releases aren&a🦩pos;t exactly damaging to the PlayStation brand, I'm still unconvinced that Sony's nailing the PC strategy when it's clearly an important part of their forwaꦆrd vision. 

What is clear though is that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:PSVR 2 isn't exactly a priority for Sony. Over a year after launch, just two 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming PSVR 2 games featured in the PlayStation State of Play. Behemoth from Skydance - responsible for brilliant virtual reality title The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners - looked impressive in the way it simultaneously channeled 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Skyrim and Shadow of the Colossus, but could only muster a 'Fall 2024' launch window. Alien: Rogue Incursion should have been a headliner as the first Alien VR game, but the 53-second 'gameplay trailer' wasn't dark, unimpressive, and didn't actually feature much gameplay. PlayStation's not exactly screaming 'You must buy this peripheral for the holidays' in the faces of its most engaged audience with that duo, especially not with PSVR 2 still retailing at almost full price, bar the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:occasional almost-tempting deal and the PSV⭕R 2 g🍌ames costing nearly as much as a AAA PS5 title.

So overal🍌l, a mixed bag for the PlayStation State of Play against a backdrop of a turbulent industry. It shouldn't have come as much of a surprise really, but with ꩲConcord and Astro Bot leading the way for first-party PlayStation's next six months it's certainly not the 2024 I expected. 

The question which the Xbox Games Showcase needs to answer on June 9 is what, exactly, that might be. I've been writing summer prediction pieces about ꧂Xbox here at GamesRadar+ for coming up on six years now and I always seem to land in exactly the same place: the time has come for radical transparency. I still believe that this is true – Microsoft Gaming has struggled with messaging since the Xbox One era – but I'm not convinced that such an approach will be possible this time around. Not when you consider how increasingly muddled the wider strategy from Phil Spencer and the rest of the Xbox executive leadership team has become over time. 

Will the price of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Game Pass subscription tiers rise to accommodate the new crown jewel of the platform? We know that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will be the first video game in the franchise to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:land in the service from day one, we just don't know at what cost. Can the creative teams at innovative studios like Double Fine and inXile survive in an environment where the creators of genre-defining experiences like Prey and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Hi-Fi Rush can not? 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Game Studios boss Matt Booty says he wants "smaller games that give us prestige and awards" but th༒at doesn't necessarily seem rooted in all that much reality. Could big-impact titles like Starfield follow Sea of Thieves to PS5❀ in the fu𓃲ture? Ri🔜ght now the multiplatform expansion strategy appears written in sand rather than etched in stone. 

The time has come for clarity

Embracing a form of radical transparency would answer these questions. It would also work to assuage the uneasy feeling many in the Xbox community are feeling right now, and reaffirm Microsoft Gaming's core strategy and ethos as we transition past the halfway-line of the Xbox Series X generation and into the endgame – a successor could, after all, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:land as early as 2028, and Spencer has 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:already committed to new hardware. The thing is, transparency could also detract (or otherwise distract) from what I imagine will be Xbox's primary goal during the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Summer Game Fest 2024 schedule: seizing on a rare lull in the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming PS5 games calendar, with Sony currently lacking any key franchise pillars for the remainder of the financial year (although that could change after the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:May 2024 State of Play). 

When it's all said and done, the one thing I hope the Xbox Games Showcase delivers more so than anything else is clarity. Because the Xbox Game Studios group has the announcements and apparatus in place to once again enact a stranglehold over the biggest genres in the business. Looking at the lineup of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming Xbox Series X games, I find 𝓰myself reconnecting with why I became so drawn to the Xbox platform in its halcyon years: the promise of PC-quality play on console; the framework to take online multiplayer to new, unassailable heights; and a commitment to delivering best-in-class experiences within the 'core' shooter, role-play, and racing niches. Sadly, that message became diluted over time as Xbox waged a war for input one and spent a generation-cycle dealing with the aftermath. 

But Xbox should be in a position to make the case that it's the best place to play once again. We know that Playground and The Initiative are hard at work on reboots for Fable and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Perfect Dark, respectively. 343 Industries, The Coalition, and id Software are rumored to be working on new installments to the Halo, Gears of War, and DOOM franchises. inXile, Compulsion, Obsidian, and Rare are investing in new IP through 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Clockwork Revolution, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:South of Midnight, Avowed, and Everwild. MachineGames is working on 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Arkane Lyon has 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Marvel's Blade, Blizzard continues to tease the possibility of World of Warcraft lining up on console alongside Bethesda's Fallout 76 and The Elder Scrolls Online, and Call of Duty is about to hit shelves slathered in Xbox branding for the first time in a decade. Oh, and don't forget about the promise of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Elder Scrolls 6, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Fallout 5, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Outer Worlds 2, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Project Mara. Am I forgetting anything? Oh yeah! Undead Labs' 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:State of Decay 3. Honestly, there might be others. 

It's an outrageous, exhaustive lineup of confirmed first-party-developed projects that, frankly, is unrivaled – particularly when you factor in second- and third-party platform exclusives that are landing on Game Pass from day one – Hideo Kojima's OD, Avalanche's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Contraband, or Studio Wildcard's ARK 2 bring prime examples. The problem here is that there's maybe two vague launch windows and no confirmed release dates between every single video game that I just mentioned. It's transparency that led Microsoft 💦Gaming to unveil so many projects so early in their respective development journeys, but it's a lack of clarity that has left so many of them appearing as if they are 𝕴trapped in limbo. 

Cut through the noise

There's going to be a lot of noise generated by the Xbox Games Showcase and Black Ops 6 Direct, a double-bill event which I'm genuinely excited to sit through. Xbox will likely announce that scores of legendary Activision and Blizzard games are about to land on Game Pass. Perhaps King will be used as a lynchpin to launch a renewed mobile gaming initiative. There may be new details of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred, perhaps a look at whatever it is that Double Fine has been working on since it shipped 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Psychonauts 2 in 2021, and I wouldn't be shocked to see new hardware – a refined controller, or the long rumored 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Series X refresh. Ignไoring all of that noise is going to be paramount. 

By the time things are all said and done, I hope that we all have clarity where it really matters: how are each of these announced video games shaping up in development, and what do the people creating them have to say about their projects. Rumors have persisted that Everwild, Perfect Dark, and State of Decay 3 have had tumultuous turns in pre-production, and the best way to shake off that perception is to get the teams out in front of a crowd – it's effectively been four years since we last received official updates on any of these titles, and a new trailer, statement of intent, or (whisper it) gameplay💟 demonstration would go a long way to alleviate any perception of enduring problems. 

I hope that we leave the Xbox Games Showcase with a firmer understanding of when Avowed, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and World of Warcraft: The War Within will land this fall. I hope that titles a little further off get, at the very least, loose release windows and brief flashes on new gam𒉰eplay too. That's what I hope for, more than anything else. Clarity that these video games are actually coming, and that the studios making them are secure as they look to deliver the world class experiences we know that they are capable of achieving. Xbox needs to prove that it is capable of del🐎ivering for the core who have stuck with Xbox so far, and that it has the release schedule capable of adding more players to those ranks. 

I've been covering the video game industry for over a decade now, and I know that it can be pretty difficult to get a clear sense of what may appear. That's why I have put together this guide to help you set some expectations, outlining what I expect to see from each of the𓃲 major publis𒉰hers this summer. The countdown to Summer Game Fest 2024 begins here.  

2K Games

Summer Game Fest will host the reveal of "the next iteration in one of 2K's biggest and mﷺost beloved franchises." While I wish this meant that a new Mafia game was ready from developer Hanger 13, I think there are some other likely candidates. For starters, it's been five years since we last heard anything about 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:BioShock 4, and we know that Firaxis is working on the "the next iteration of the legendary Civilization franch🍌ise." But there's also Borderlands 4 to consider, more likely following Take-Two's acquisition of Gearb♓ox Software ཧearlier this year. 2🐽K could also have other announcements to share, has acquired the FIFA license after EA ended its 30-year partnership with soccer's governiꦑng body. 

Amazon Games

I'd love to sit here and tell you that Amazon Games' confirmed attendance at Summer Game Fest means we're about to get a reveal for either the untitl🌠ed Tomb Raider project it's developing in collaboration with Crystal Dynamiꦯcs or for the untitled The 𒁏Lord of the Rings MMO announced last year, but I just don't see it happening. Amazon doesꦕ have three other projects in the works – one being developed in-house, one in partnership with Glowmade, and another with Disruptive Games – but I think it's more likely that the publisher shows off more of Throne and Liberty, the MMORPG which Amazon is helping NCSoft publish outside of Korea this year. 

Activision

If you're looking for big Activision news you should go ahead and mark June 9 on your calendar. The publisher has already revealed that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is in development at Treyarch, with the worldwide reveal set to take place in a dedicated Black Ops 6 direct on June 9. I would anticipate that Microsoft Gaming will also detail which Activision games it plans to bring to Game Pass during the Xbox Games Showcase, but you shouldn't expect any additional video game announcements. The vast majority of the Activision-owned developers are cogs in the Call of Duty machinery, while  Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy and Spyro Reignited Trilogy developer 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Toys forꦜ Bob recently earned its independꦛence. 

Annapurna Interactive

Annapurna Interactive has hosted its own dedicated summer showcase for the past three years, although a 2024 edition is yet to be announced. It's expected that the publisher will instead route its biggest reveals through Summer Game Fest Live, although it's difficult to guess what they may be – given that so many of Annapurna's most ambitious titles (Cocoon and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Lorelei and the Laser Eyes being two recent examp🉐les) often come out of nowhere. Personally, I'm keen to see more of Silent Hill: Townfall and Blade Runner 2033: Labyrinth; oh, and Skin Deep, from the legends over at Blendo Games. At the very least you should expect gameplay reveals for the 2024 lineup: Bounty Star, Flock🃏, and Ghost Bike. 

Atlus

There's a very real chance that the video game which gets everybody talking out of Summer Game Fest Live is Metaphor: ReFantazio. When Persona 5 shipped in 2016, director and producer Katsura Hashino announced his intention to retire from the franchise (no surprise there, given that he also led development of Persona 3 and Persona 4), prompting Atlus to establish a new production division to let him explore other creative ideas. Metaphor: ReFantazio is the studio's first original project, an RPG set in a dazzling medieval fantasy world. , and I expect him to turn some h♔eads wi♈th a new look at this upcoming RPG.

Bandai Namco

I know that many of you will only care about one Bandai Namco offering at Summer Game Fest, and that is 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree. It's certainly possible that the showcase has been granted the worldwide gameplay reveal for the expansion, ahead of its release on June 20, but I honestly wonder whether Bandai Namco'🌺s potential involvement with SGF could hinge around other projects. For starters, there's Unknown 9: Awakening scheduled for release this year, and we're long overdue updates on Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero and The Dark Pictures Anthology: Directive 8020 (). 

Bethesda Softworks

Microsoft Gaming recently enacted a significant restructure of Bethesda's operations, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:closing Arkane Austin and Tango Ga🀅🍨meworks, so I expect the publisher will want to showcase what the rest of the group is working towards. While it's likely too early for 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Marvel's Blade, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Elder Scrolls 6, or 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Fallout 5 reveals, I do expect 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and Starfield: Shattered Space to appear during the Xbox Games Showcase on June 9. There's also unverified rumors circling that id Software will reveal Doom: The Dark Ages, and an open question to be answered on whether any other Bethesda titles will follow 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Hi-Fi Rush to other platforms – who knows, that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Starfield on PS5 dream could finally come true. 

Bokeh Game Studio

With Bokeh Game Studio confirmed as an official Summer Game Fest 2024 partner, it's almost guaranteed that we will get a full gameplay reveal of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Slitterhead. Revealed back at the Game Awards in 2021, this new title from Silent Hill creator Keiichiro Toyama has long been one of GamesRadar's most anticipated 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming horror games. The oppo𒁃rtunity to see more of Slitterhead is exciting, particularly ﷺas any new look that does arrive will be just days after we get a look at some brand new Silent Hill games from Konami's special Transmission on May 30. 

Capcom

How big are you willing to dream? We know that Capcom will be a part of Summer Game Fest; will it show a new trailer for Monster Hunter Stories Collection in celebration of its release on June 14, or will we be treated to a blowout showcase of Monster Hunter Wilds? Hopefully the latter, given that 2025 will be here before you know it. While unverified rumors persist that Resident Evil 9 – a🍃long with Resident Evil Zero and Code: ꦇVeronica remakes, as Capcom desperately attempts to swerve the Resident Evil 5 ha🐼zard – are in active development, I'd be shocked to see🧔 any of them this summer.  

Devolver Digital

I'm no mind reader, but I suspect that the returning Devolver Digital summer𝐆 showcase will be suitably unhinged. I think it's safe to assume that the roster of 2024 releases will get a good showing here, with particular attention paid to The Plucky Squire, Neva, and Skate Story – all of which look utterly delightful. I think it's also safe to assume t🦩hat there will be a lot of nonsense involved in this presentation, between all of the video games with exceptionally silly premises – Anger Foot and Baby Steps, I'm looking at you – and as Devolver claims that the June 7 showcase is in actuality the 15th birthday party for the publisher's mascot, Volvy. 

Epic Games

Epic Games has confirmed its involvement with Summer Game Fest and I'm torn. The dreamer in me would like to believe that the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Alan Wake 2: Night Sprinওgs expansion will be given its debut, given that Epic published the landmark horror adventure and that . But the realist in me knows that Epic Games will likely show up with a bounty of Fortnite news – nothing on the scale of Lego Fortnite, Rocket Racing, and Fortnite Festival, but perhaps a new collaboration or live event as the battle royale pushes towards the end of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Chapter 5 Season 3 this August. 

EA

With EA confirming attendance at Summer Game Fest, now is the time for long-overdue updates. Reveals for 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Dragon Age: Dreadwolf and Skate 4 are long overdue, and I do wonder whether EA Motive's untitled Iron Man game is ready to take flight. That isn't the only 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming Marvel game EA is currently working on, but it's probably too early for more info on Cliffhanger Games' Black Panther game. The same is likely true for BioWare's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Mass Effect 5, Respawn's Star Wars: Jedi Survivor seq🤪uel, Bit Reactor's Star Wars strategy game, and whatever DICE and Motive is doing with Battlefield beyond 2042. 

Focus Entertainment

If I were working at Focus Entertainment, I would be praying to whatever gods 🗹blessed our worlds with so much available waist-high-cover that Xbox don't reveal Gears of War 6 this year. That's because Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is likely to appear at one of the summer showcases and look pretty damn good while doing it. Set for release on September 9, 2024, it wouldn't be out of the realms of possibility for a flashy gameplay update. The publisher also needs to clarify whether John Carpenter's Toxic Commando is sticking with its vague 2024 release window.

Konami

Konami hasn't confirmed attendance at Summer Game Fest or IGN Live, although the publisher will host a Silent Hill Transmission broadcast on May 30. While that does mean we won't likely see more from the Metal Gear Solid 3 remake this summer, we are about to get a lot of updates surrounding the upcoming Silent Hill games. The Silent Hill 2 remake from Bloober Team could be given a release date, although I'd settle for a longer gameplay reveal. No Code's Silent Hill: Townfall is in desperate need of more detail, same goes 🐻for Silent Hill F – the ninth mainline game in the franchise. Not long to wait now. 

Nintendo

Nintendo isn't going to appear during Summer Game Fest. Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa has already announced an intention to hold a dedicated Nintendo�🅺� Direct in June, although the company is yet to give that a firm date. Either way, we know that the incoming showcase won't include any news on Switch 2, and will instead focus on the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming Switch games library "for the latter half of 2024." Does that mean we might finally get a fresh look at 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Metroid Prime 4? It's more likely that we'll get some new HD rem𝔉asters and delightful looking indie games.

PlayStation

Many view PlayStation pulling out of E3 2019 as the beginning of the end for the annual trade convention. The publisher elected to go its own way, hosting its own digital showcases throughout the year as a vehicle for its biggest updates and announcements. It's been over a year since the last PlayStation Showcase (although we've had three smaller 'State of Play' broadcasts since) and no word yet on whether Sony has plans to hold one this summer. PlayStation is a confirmed Summer Game Fest partner although it is yet to reveal the extent of its involvement – it could be as small as a new trailer to celebrate the release of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Destiny 2: The Final Shape on June 4, or could relate to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming PS5 games like 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Marvel's Wolverine, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Death Stranding 2: On The Beach, or Concord – the ♚new shooter ꦜwhich is supposedly landing this year.

Private Division

I was honestly a little surprised to see Private Division amongst the confirmed Summer Game Fest partners, particularly as the publisher deals with the aftermath of mass layoffs which forced the🐓 reported closure of Roll7 and Intercept Games. Private D꧒ivision does have publishing deals in place with Weta Workshop for the delightful-looking Tales of the Shire, Bloober Team for an unannounced survival horror game, Game F🧸reak for an unannounced action-adventure game, and Moon Studios' No Rest for the Wicked – which entered early access in April. Will we see any of these titles on June 7? It's hard to say, all things considered.

Rockstar Games

Will a Rockstar Games reveal be the 'one last thing' surprise for Summer Game Fest Live? It's highly unlikely. The truth is, Rockstar is such a wild card in the video game industry that I could honestly see the studio opting instead to position a GTA 6 gameplay reveal seconds before the SGF showcase kicks off – just so that it can sit back and watch the internet burn itself to the ground in a frenzy. When Rockstar does show more of Grand Theft Auto 6 off, as we march towards the 'Fall 2♔025' release window, i⛦t will no doubt be a day to remember: I just don't t♋hink it'll be during Summer Game Fest. 

SEGA

Given how challenging the current environment is for SEGA, I find it difficult to believe that new announcements are coming to SGF. Earlier this year, the company announced plans to sell Company of Heroes developer Relic Entertainment, and enacted mass layoffs at Creative Assembly (澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:forcing the cancellation of Hyenas) – the latter is 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查𝔍询:r☂umored to be working on Total War: Star Wars, but a reveal seems unlikely. So too does any further information surrounding the planned revi෴vals of Crazy Taxi, Golden Axe, Jet Set Radio, Shinobi, and Streets of Rage. If any SE𝓀GA gaꦇmes appear at SGF, it'll likely be either Sonic X Shadow Generations or Super Monkey Ball: Banana Rumble.

SNK

SNK has been confirmed as a partner for Summer Game Fest 2024, most likely to showcase Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves. This is the first new entry to the Fatal Fury franchise in 26 years, and the publisher has been steadily building anticipation around this new 🎀installment since its reveal at EVO 2023. I expect that we'll see new gameplay and a 2025 release date set in stone. In a dream world, we will also get a firm update on Leikir Studio and DotEmu's Metal Slug Tactics – the years-long wait for more information is, frankly, becoming unbearable. 

Square Enix

Square Enix is perhaps the largest absence from the confirmed Summer Game Fest partners list. Given that the publisher has Dragon Quest 12 and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Kingdom Hearts 4 in development, that's certainly disappointing, although I wouldn't be surprised if Square Enix showed up in a summer showcase in some capacity. It's been recently teasing the release of Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake online, a game which we've heard exceptionally little about since it was announced back in May 2021. Either way, expect Square Enix to have a quiet summer as it regroups following the release of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth earlier this year. 

Ubisoft

Ubisoft is hosting its own press conference in 2024, with Ubisoft Forward scheduled to air on Monday, June 10. You should expect to see the first 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Assassin's Creed Shadows gameplay, as well as a fresh look at 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars Outlaws ahead of its release on August 30 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X. I suspect that we'll also see 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Assassin's Creed Infinity, the interactive nexus tying upcoming Assassin's Creed games together, and teases for 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming Ubisoft games like The Divison 3, Splinter 🅷Cell Remake, and Project U. Whether Beyond Good & Evil 2 resurfaces remains an ope🦂n question.

Valve

In an ordinary year, I wouldn't bother speculating on Valve appearing at Summer Game Fest Live. The publisher famously works to its own schedule, nor has it confirmed its attendance to the upcoming showcase. But the Half-Life developer finds itself in a strange position, as hundreds of gameplay videos have hit the internet for Deadlock – a new team-based hero shooter 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:that hasn't actually been announced. Imagine third-person Overwatch with the style of Team Fortress and you should get some idea of how Deadlock is shaping up, and there's every possibility that Valve tries to get in front🌠 of the leaks at SGF.  🍸 

Warner Bros Games

WB Games has confirmed that it is a Summer Game Fest partner, but we don't yet have a strong sense of what the publisher may show. We know for certain that Batman: Arkham Shadows will get a gameplay reveal, the new VR experience from developer Camouflaj, but there could be more. I wouldn't be shocked to see 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Mortal Kombat 1, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史😼查询:Suicid꧂e Squad: Kill the Justice League, and MultiVersus announce new DLC, while a gameplay reveal for Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions is long overdue. The big question is whether Monolith Productions' 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Wonder Woman will show, given that it's been three years since we last received an update on the myste🎃rious action-adventure game.

Xbox

Even if I were to discount the video games in development at Activision and Bethesda, and went ahead and removed all third-party exclusives out of the equation (the likes of Ark 2 and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Stalker 2) then 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Game Studios still has 10 confirmed titles in active production that it could show at the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Games Showcase on June 9. That doesn't even take into account what studios like Double Fine, inXile, and The Coalition may be working on behind the scenes. Which is all to say that it's impossible to anticipate what Microsoft Gaming will reveal, although I'd be pretty surprised if 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming Xbox Series X games like Fable 4, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Perfect Dark, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:State of Decay 3 were no-shows.

In a press release, SGF announced that "more than 55 of the world's leading video game companies" will converge in Los Angeles, starting with the Summer Game Fest showcase on June 7. You can get a full rundown of everything happening across the industry that week with our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Summer Game Fest 2024 schedule, but for now, let&ap🎶os;s look at who's set to ♐show up.

The first wave of partner announcements includes GTA 6 publisher 2K (with some fans ൩speculating that some new details on Rockstar's next game might not ⛦be far away, even if we're far from guaranteed another look). There's also Elden Ring publisher Bandai Namco, possibly looking to show off 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree ahead of its launch on June 21, and Capcom, who could be showing off 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Monster Hunter Wilds.

Ubisoft is making an appearance, as is💧 Steam, HoYoverse, Warner Bros Games, and a host of other studios. In addition to all that, the juggernauts of PlayStation and Xbox will also be in attendance, with the💮 latter planning its own substantial showcase alongside what is almost certainly a deep dive on the next Call of Duty game.

To catch the show itself, you can tune into the Summer Game Fest showꦇcase, taking place at 14:00 PT/17:00 ET/22:00 BST on June 7 via YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, Twitter, and Steam.

Future Games Show: Set A Reminder To Watch Below

Earlier today, Nintendo dropped some of the biggest news of the year so far in the most casual way possible. The simple tweet below, a statement from Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa, reveals that the Nintendo Switch&apos꧂;s successor will be announced in the current fiscal year, and a new Nintendo Direct will air next month in J⛎une.

Before you set sky-high expectations for that Direct, though, Furukawa states that the Direct will focus on 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming Switch games, instead of the new Nintendo Switch successor itself. The company will presumably reveal new details a🐻bout the hardware later this year or pe𓃲rhaps even early next year at some point in the first three months of 2025.

The Switch release schedule for the rest of the year looks incredibly vague in terms of first-party games, so it's not a huge surprise Nintendo is on the cusp of a new showcase. Paper Mario: The Thousand 🧸Year Door launches later this month on May 23, and Luigi's Mansion 2 HD arrives next month on June 27, but after that there are zero first-party Nintendo games slated for the rest of the year.

However, Nintendo did reveal last year that the Switch will continue to get new games until 🎶at least March 2025, so there are obviously unannounced games 💧in the pipeli꧒ne for the current hardware. 

We've still got plenty of time to get caught up on the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best Switch games of the past seven years before the new hardware rolls around next year. 

Xbox also confirms its plans to repeat the double-feature format which it introduced last year, where the main 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Games Showcase 2023 was immediately followed by a dedicated Starfield Direct livestream. While we don't know what 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox exclusive will be given the special deep-d𒅌ive treatment, Microsoft says it'll be the "the next installme𓂃nt of a beloved franchise." 

The Xbox Games Showcase will commence on June 9 at 1pm ET / 10am PT / 6pm BST / 7pm CEST. It will be available t🌸o wat𒀰ch on demand at Xbox's , , and channels. 

This year's showcase will slot into the wider 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Summer Game Fest 2024 schedule, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:following the cancelation of E3, and will most likely focus on upcoming titles for Xbox, PC, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Game Pass – no word yet on whether mor𓄧e titles will be unveiled as part of Microsoft's push of selected titles onto PS5 and Switch, following the release of S🦋ea of Thieves, Grounded, and Pentiment in recent weeks. 

In fact, Microsoft is yet to detail what exactly will be shown, but there's a huge amount of potential here. The 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming Xbox Series X games from 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Game Studios includes a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Perfect Dark reboot from The Initiative, Playground Games' Fable 4, Rare's Everwild, Compulsion Games' 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:South of Midnight, inXile's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Clockwork Revolution, Undead Labs' 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:State of Decay 3, and Obsidian Entertainment's Avowed and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Outer Wilds 2. 

Bethesda also has plenty to tease, including Arkane's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Marvel's Blade, MachineGames' 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, as well as 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Elder Scrolls 6 and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:St꧑arfield's Shattered Space DLC from Bethesda Game Studios. As for Activision Blizzard, there's the Di❀ablo 4: Vessel of Hatred expansion, World of Warcraft: The War Within, and the ever-present threat of a new Call of Duty.

Even with all of this on the ca♛rds, we still have no idea what 343 Industries, Double Fine, id Software, Tango Game Works, and The Coalition are currently working on. We'll know more in the coming weeks, but right now all signs are pointing to this being one of t🐎he most anticipated Xbox Games Showcases in years. 

Todd Howard says Starfield's Shattered Space DLC launches this fall.

As revealed in a new press release, this year's show is set to feature over 50 games. You can expect world premieres, exclusive announcements, developer interviews, and much more.

If you're keen to save the date, The PC Gaming Show airs on June 9 at 1pm PDT / 4pm EDT / 9pm BST / 10pm CEST. As always, you're spoiled for choice regarding where to watch the stream. The show will be broadcast on Twitch, YouTube, X, Steaܫm, and Bilibili, promising "a packed roster of reveals, celebrations, and surprises."

"A lot has changed in PC gaming since our first show in 2015," PC Gaming Show editorial director Jake Tucker says. "It's more mainstreamܫ and popular than ever, and each year b♍rings new breakout hits. 

"I'm excited to take the helm on a show I'🥂ve loved for years and can't wait to share a host of great gam♍es with our audience this summer. Expect some big reveals, new content for your favorite games, and a celebration of what's been a golden decade for PC games."

The latest installment of The PC Gaming Show follows the newly launched PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted, which hit our screens last winter and was dedicated to counting down the most anticipated PC games as decided by a counc⛄il of over 70 industry veterans, including Sid Meier of ﷽Civilization fame, Inxile Entertainment studio head Brian Fargo, and AbleGamers director Steven Spohn.

Until then, check out all of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming PC games for 2024 and beyond if you're curious about what sort of games are on the horizon. You might see one of them sooner than you think.

Expect exciting updates on blockbuster games and deeper dives into anticipated indies. We made good on that promise in our March 2024 show, when titles like Dragon's Dogma 2 and Sand Land lined up alongside a special .

What is Summer Game Fest?

Summer Game Fest was once a competitor to the big E3 gaming conference held every year in June. The event, organized and presented by Geoff Keighley (of Game Awards fameᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ), begins with a big live stream and th🅺en becomes host to exclusive game previews and other announcements. 

However, since E3 was officially confi🍸rmed completely, permanently dead, at the tail end of 2023 after a whopping 28 y🍒ears by organizers ESA, Summer Game Fest has now become the de facto E3 replacement. 

The event is happening again this year, with companion events like Day of the Devs and our very own Future Games Show happening alongside Keighley&a✅pos;s own live event. 

Summer Game Fest dates 2024

When is Summer Game Fest?

Summer Game Fest Live will be held on Thursday, June 7, with SGF Play Days, "an invite-only media and influence event", offering hands-on previews with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new games scheduled for June 8-10.

Xbox Games Showcase + Black Ops 6 Direct

WHEN: June 9 at 10am PDT / 1pm EDT / 6pm BST / 7pm CEST

Xbox has now revealed it's returning to the Summer Game Fest Schedule with a double whammy of live streams. The Xbox Games Showcase will kick things off and will feature "games from our portfolio of studios across Activision, Blizzard, Bethesda, and Xbox Game Studios". We'd imagine that will of course include Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, but there are a tonne of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming Xbox Series X games that could also get an update including Fable 4, the long-quiet 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Perfect Dark reboot, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Marvel's Blade from Arkane, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Elder Scrolls 6, and the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Shattered Space DLC for Starfield. 

However, that will immediately be followed by the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Direct. Activisi🐭on has said that this will be the place for the "first in-depth look at all-new gameplay and product announcements", but the full rev෴eal of the game will seemingly happen before June 9.

Nintendo Direct

WHEN: Date and Time TBC

Nintendo has now confirmed that it will be hosting a Nintendo Direct this June, but there's currently no time or date attached to that. It will be focused on "the Nintendo Switch lineup for the latter half of 2024", but stresses that this even will not be used to talk about the Nintendo Switch 2 that the company has finally acknowledges actually exists. It has revealed that it will announce its ne♔xt-gen Switch successor "within 🐲this fiscal year", but there are also no more𝄹 d💖etails there either. Mysterious Nintendo.

IGN Live

WHEN: June 7-9, exact timings still TBC

This year, as another big name vying to replace E3, IGN is hosting IGN Live, which is what it's calling a𝐆n in-person, three-day fan event. The site states it will feature "gaming and entertainment creators, developers, publishers, and enthusiasts," but hasn't yet confirmed its official exhibitors. It will include live IGN shows, tournaments, "first looks" at new releases, and some panels too though.

The academy announced the host for this year's show earlier today; the 2024 event will mark the awards' 20th anniversary. Wang, who grew up in Malaysia but has become a regular fixture of the UꦓK comedy circuit thanks in no small part to his iconic Taskmaster outfit, has been playing games throughout those two decades, graduating from Windows 3.0 Freeware to legendary RTS games like Age of Empires and Rome: Total War to modern classics like Death Stranding and The Last of Us Part 2.

This year's ceremony will take place on April 11 in London, and will be available to stream on major platforms from 10:50 PT/ 13:50 ET/ 18:50 BST. BAFTA unveiled the nominees for the 🤡2024 awards earlier this month - Baldur's Gate 3 will be hoping to extend its run of success, and is currently leading the pack with ten nominations. Just behind it is Marvel's Spider-Man 2 with nine nods, a🦋nd Alan Wake with eight. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor both have six nominations.

The nominees for Best British Game are Dead Island 2, Disney Illusion Island, Football Manager 2024, Viewfinder, Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin, and Cassette Beasts. As well as the games mentioneಌd above, the Best Game categoryꦍ is rounded out by Dave the Diver and Super Mario Bros Wonder.

Find out what we thought with our list of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best games of 2023.

Hayden Christensen and Ewan McGregor made appearances together at the convention, which has resulted in plenty of fun photos. Of course, Christensen and McGregor starred together as Anakin Skywalker and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Obi-Wan Kenobi in the Star Wars preq🎃uels and Obi-Wan spin-off𒊎 show. 

"THEYRE SO CUTEEEE" about a set of pictures of the actors reuܫnitinꦡg, while another : "I love them" 

"Actually my kings?????" about a picture of the duo posing together, while : "I have to say my fave behind the screen stuff about the preque༺ls revolves arꦬound these two. They were just such pure bros" agrees: "Best duo in the universe"

Recently, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:a funny deleted scene from 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Revenge of the Sith made the rounds online again, reminding everyone of jꦕust ho🦂w hilarious this duo can be. 

At the moment, it's unclear if we'll see Christensen and McGregor share the screen in Star Wars again. While Christensen appeared multiple times in Ahsoka – and could potentially be back for Ahsoka season 2 – it looks like 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Obi-Wan Kenobi season 2 has been ruled out, and McGregor hasn't shown up in Ahsoka, ei✨ther. Although, there's plenty of space for McGregor to appear in a flashback or as a Force ghost in Ahsoka season 2. We'll ﷽just have to wait and see. 

Next up for Star Wars is more Young Jedi Adventures, arriving this February 14, while The Bad Batch season ඣ3 is landing on February 21. This year will also bring The Acolyte and Skeleton Crew to our screens, so there's a lot to be 🐲getting excited about. 

While you wait for more Star Wars, check out our guide to all the 澳洲🎶幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming Star Wars movies and TV shows to keep up to date on everything that&apos🙈;s on the way. 

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:First announced earlier this month, Microsoft caught the headlines by revealing that Xbox's first showcase of the year includes our first proper look at Wolfenstein developer MachineGames's still-untitled 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Indiana Jones game. You're getting "more than 10 m🌌inutes of game and developer insights," which will conclude with "the premier of the first gameplay trailer."

That's not all, though; you're also getting a peep at Obsidian's hotly anticipated RPG Avowed and long-awaited sequel 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2. Rounding it off is Ara: History Untold, a strategy gam꧟e from a handful of Civilization creators. 

What you won't be seeing, though, is anything from Activision Blizzard. Microsoft confirms as much in a press release, saying that "you can look forward to news from those teams later this year." Fret not; the developer is keeping busy. Blizzard is holding a Diablo 4 Developer Update Livestream at 9am PT, 12am ET, and 5pm GMT to chat about Season 3 - if you don't fancy waiting, though, our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历✤史查询:Diablo 4 Season of the Constru🍬ct interview dips into everything new. 

As for the Xbox Developer Direct time itseꦯlf, we'v🌄e spelled everything out for you below, from how to watch the dang thing to providing a countdown if you want something easier to track than the time itself.

Xbox Developer Direct countdown

The Xbox Showcase countdown is now on, with the hours ticking away before you get new looks at Avowed, Ara: History Untold, Hellblade 2, and the gameplay debut of Indiana Jones from Machine Games – one of the most anticipated 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming Bethesda games of the year. We'll be counting down the hours with you, and there's info on where to wa♚tch the Xbox Developer Direct below. 

 Xbox Developer Direct time

The first Xbox Developer Direct of 2024 begins on Thursday, January 18 at 12pm PT / 3pm ET / 8pm UK.

Shortly after that, the ZeniMax Online Studios teജam is hosting an Elder Scrolls Online 2024 Global Reveal event, which starts at 1pm PT / 4pm ET / 9pm GMT. As such, you can expect the Xbox showcase to last roughly one hour.

How to watch Xbox Developer Direct 2024

You can watch the Xbox Developer Direct on , , and on Xbox’s dedicated accounts. Alternatively, you ca📖n also tune ꦫinto Bethesda’s and accounts.

You can also 🤡catch the whol♈e thing on Steam or China's Bilibili platform on Friday, January 19.

We'll also be covering the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Developer Direct live too!

Here's hoping that we'll get a better sense of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming Xbox Series X games release schedule after this Developer Direct concludes, with release dates for Avowed and Hellblade 2 anticipated. 

We're highlighting the absolute best of the best here, the tech we can see making a real difference for everyday gamers. Between MSI, HP, Razer, Alienware, ꦺand Asus, the top gaming brands have brought their A-game to Vegas in 2024 - but we're also looking to the worlds of projectors, TVs and even fitness for our ꦑCES 2024 digest this year. 

MSI Claw

MSI threw a curveball at us at CES this year, a Meteor Lake run 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:gaming handheld. While it may look like the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Steam Deck or 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Asus ROG Ally (and even shares a startlingly similar screen to the latter), the MSI Claw ditches the AMD internals others have adopted in favor of Intel's Core Ultra 5 or Core Ultra 7 155H and Arc graphi💛cs. To keep all these components running smoothly, the Claw also reportedly has a higher max power draw compared to the ROG Ally at 40W. A 53WHr battery is being touted as lasting 50% longer than the market average (translating to two hours in full power mode co♚mpared to the Ally and Steam Deck's hour). 

The brand debuted their handheld device on the CES showfloor this year, after leaked images hit the web the week before. ✃It still managed to pack a punch, though, and Intel's place in the handheld market could be decided by this 2024 entry. Launch is expected in the first half of the year, but those crucial price numbers ha🎐ven't yet been announced. 

HP Omen Transcend 32 QD-OLED gaming monitor 

Some of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best gaming monitors on the market use a QD-OLED panel to help their ꧅games shine, and CES 2024 brought a whole new crop of🍸 new devices to the showfloor. The headline this year is 4K. With Samsung and Alienware both showing off 4K 240Hz QD-OLED panels this year, it looks like the display tech has hit its ceiling for the moment - but our favorite entry was HP's Omen Transcend 32. 

The Omen Transcend 32 packs a serious visual punch with those specs, but the brand also claims it's the first gaming monit🥂o𓄧r with switchable inputs. That KVM switch functionality means you'll be able to hook up two PCs (or, more likely, a PC and a laptop) and interact with both at the same time. 

Not only that, but it's the first OLED gaming monitor with a 140W USB-C power delivery for charging an𒆙d docking to boot. Throw in an independent cooling solution, two HDMI 2.1 connections, and of course plenty of RGB and HP has come out on top this year. 

Razer Blade 16 laptop

We're sticking with display tech for a little while to talk about the Razer Blade 16. Razer brought Samsung into the mix for its 16-inch model this year, in efforts to debut the world's first 240Hz OLED panel on a gaming laptop at CES. The 0.2ms response time, VESA certified DisplayHDR True Black, and Calman certified 100% DCI-P3 make this an impressive display. These were all go-to specs for OLED screens just last year, but with the speed and resolution to keep up with tomorrow's games, this is the first time we're seeing an OLED panel sitting well on a high-end gaming 🦹laptop. 

The Blade 16 also features Nvidia GeForce RTX GPUs all the way up to an RTX 4090 at full 175W power, with Intel's overclockable i9-14900HX at the helm as well. Aside from that screen, then, the Blade 16 has a good shot at being one of the year's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best gaming laptops all by itself. And, of course, it all co🐼mes in that classic CNC milled unibody chassis. 

Asus ROG NUC PC

CES 2024 wasn't a massive year for the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:gaming PC, as evidenced by the fact that our favorite desktop from the event measures in at just 144 x 112 x 41mm. The Asus ROG NUC is a mini PC that manages to pack big components. There's an 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 GPU and Intel Core Ultra i9 processor crammed into this tiny chassis, aiming to offer desktop-level power wherever you choose to ღplace your setup. 

There are cheaper configurations available, with either Intel's Arc GPUs or an RTX 4060 on the shelves instead, but even these cheaper models still pack Intel's Core Ultra 7 155H🐎 CPU and 32GB DDR5 ﷽RAM. Should you wish to take it apart further down the line, Asus has also stated that it's a completely tool-less chassis for easy access when upgrade time comes. 

XGIMI Aladdin projector

While they aim to make a big impact on your living room entertainment, the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best projectors are the ones that can fade into the background when not in use. That's where the XGIMI Aladdin excels. The projector is cleverly disguised as a ceiling lamp (and also doubles as both lighting and a Bluetooth speaker), designed to sit൲ atop your room. 

With a 1080p resolution and short throw 100-inch screen capability, as well as those Harman Kardon speakers, this is a particularly well-rounded affair. On top of that you've got got a few non-traditional uses here. The Aladdin can default to displaying a series of dynamic wallpapers 🐭when not in home entertainment use, while also playing interactive children's stories or ambient sounds. The entire operation is vꦯoice activated without a remote. 

The XGIMI Aladdin is set for release in Japan first of all, hitting t♔he shelves in June this year. Unfortunately there's no information surrounding a worldwide release at the moment. 

LG OLED M4 TV

LG debuted its Zero Connect Box on the OLED M3 last year, and CES brought the tech back to the showfloor with the LG OL🎃ED M4. The separate box keeps all your consoles and streaming devices plugged in, but wirelessly transmits all their signals to your TV completely removing the need for any ugly cables r♏uining a clean setup. That's a gift for those wall mounting their screens. 

LG pairs its industry leading OLED panel with micro lens array tech here, for a supremely crisp final picture and the full force of a new Alpha 11 p♒rocessor for additional AI enhancements. The key here, though, is the bump from 120Hz to 144Hz refresh rates. 

That, in theory, opens the LG OLED M4 up to PC play (hello Asus ROG NUC). While latencies and response times are going to factor into this experience (and won't keep up with a similarly priced gaming monitor), anyone with a stacked living room setup is going to want to see this. If everything goes to plan, this could be one of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best gaming TVs money can buy by the end of the year. 

Alienware M16 R2

Dell has redesigned its Alienware M16 machine this year and the R2 features are much longed for change. There are very few 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Alienware laptops that can truly be considered portable, and even the cheaper M16 range was far too bulky to realistically throw in a backpack before this year. That was largꦦely due to a particularly wide shelf at the rear of the machine which, while providing additional cooling, extended the footprint of the whole device. That's completely gone for 2024's Alienware M16, leaving us with an almost svelt d൲esign that prioritizes quality of life over high-end performance. 

That means the M16 R2 has had a 15% reduction in size while still offering some significant power boosts under the hood. That comes from Intel's Ultra H Series processors as well as the boosted 8TB SSD configuration option. Of course, the꧃r𒆙e's a sacrifice to be made here. 

In shrinking the M16, Dell has done away with both RTX 4080 and RTX 4090 options for its more affordable model. Instead, you've got the choice between an RTX𝔉 4🃏050, 4060 or 4070 GPU. That's not as cut throat as it might seem, though. It opens the M16 up to a more affordable shelf slot, where players are more concerned with buying an all in one machine they can take on the go while also being able to enjoy the latest games. 

Wild Card - FitXR Slam Studio

CES wild cards can get wild. But FitXR's Slam Studio feels like it was made for the Vegas showfloor. The mixed reality system uses the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Meta Quest 3 to create an interactive fitness experience was showcased for the first time at this yea🔴r's event. FitXR is well established in the VR workout game, but its latest studio is the first to offer its gamified exercises in mixed reality. It's a sneaky way to meet your fitness goals while reveling in all the dopamine a high score can provide. 

In Association with ROG Ally

Between new innovations and further refinements of classic design, 2023 has brought some excellent new devices to the market. We've had our hands on all of it, now with the tough job of narrowing the playing field ♐down to a handful of winners.

We've got 15 categories this year, spanning gaming PCs and laptops all the way to board games💞 and VR. The winner in each category will be a device that has truly pushed the limits of this year's tech while remaining influ🐠ential in its own sphere. We've handpicked these winners after rigorous testing lasting well beyond our initial review period, so you know they can go the distance. 

Best gaming PC - Origin Chronos V3

The 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Origin Chronos V3 takes one of the most innovative PC cases released this year and turns it into a powerhouse pre-build capable of high-end action.

The Corsair Ai🧸rflow 2000D Airflow is the first ever ITX (small-form factor) chassis that's capable of fitting a full-size AIO cooler inside of it. Not only that, but it can also squeeze the biggest GPUs in it as well, all the while keeping c🐟ool air circulating through it thanks to full mesh walls. 

Our review model packed an RTX 4080 inside it, meaning it was more than capable of handling the most demanding modern games and spit𒅌ting them out at 4K with high frame rates. Now don't get us wrong, we've seen mighty PC꧑s in small cases before. The Corsair One line has been around for a while, and the Acer Predator Orion X is carrying on the small form factor mantle, but the efficiency, style, and design of the Chronos V3 outshone the competition this year.

While Origin modified Corsair's original chassis design ever so slightly, this PC is a testament to the synergy between the two brands. The power that's been packed into this gorgeous case makes it a standout for those that don't want a gaming PC to dominate the real estate of a setup. For innovation, power, and design, this is the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best gaming PC we tested in 2023. 

Best gaming laptop - Asus ROG Zephyrus G14

In a super competitive landscape, the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 still managed to stand out from the crowd in 2023.

2023 brought a new wash of Asus rigs to the market, but the model that benefitted most from Intel's 13th generation processors and Nvidia's RTX 40-Series graphics was the 14-inch wonder, the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Asus ROG Zephyrus G14. This is the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best gaming laptop for anyone looking to strike that balance between portability and power (shocker, it nails both) - and we would argue that's a considerable market. After all, if you're going all in on performance you'd look at a gaming PC, go too far the other way and you should really 𓆉be after a gaming handheld. 

The gaming laptop's position on theℱ market was challenged on both sides this year. PCs are more powerful than ever, and with multiple PC handhelds hitting the shelves it's entirely possible to walk around with a full rig in your poꦰcket. The Asus ROG Zephyrus G14, with its effortless approach to compact performance, shines ever brighter with this extra competition in tow. 

It's had to work particularly hard to prove its worth in 2023 - what with larger 18-inch machines packing incredible RTX 4090 juggernaut components. But with a Mini LED display, high-end components you just don't see in compact rigs, and a super slick build, the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 has proven that you don't need to scale down framerates to keep a full blown gaming rig in your backpack. This was🍬 the year Asus needed to prove that, and it's done so in a sublime package. 

Best gaming handheld - Asus ROG Ally

The Asus ROG Ally arrived to take on the mighty Steam Deck during the summer, and while it wasn't perfect at launch, it's now sitting pretty on the handheld throne.

Initially framed as an April Fools gag, the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Asus ROG Ally still feels too good to be true. Boasting full PC game compatibility thanks to Windows 11, an 120Hz 1080p display, and one of the fastest AMD APUs available, the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best gaming handheld contender is more than just a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Steam Deck alternative. In fact, while it had a few issues at launch, it has managed to iron its quirks out over the course of 2023, now offering premium portable features for far less than the likes of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Ayaneo 2S or rival Onexplayer devices out there.

It's worth noting that there are two versions of the Asus ROG Ally out there, and our award naturally goes to the AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme version. The chip has effectively smashed performance expectations originally set by the Steam Deck, and while Valve's portable powerhouse can still pull off decent frame rates, the Ally sets the bar ever higher even while running the latest games♎. 

The Steam꧙ Deck may have opened the handheld gaming PC floodgates, but the Asus ROG Ally is the device that instigated a more widespread storm. There's every chance another portable will challenge the Ally for the throne in 2024, and we're excited to see higher s💃pec rivals arrive at a similar price. But, for now, the laptop maker's console-shaped rig is our favorite, and we've got a feeling it'll win over more players as we sail into the new year.

Best gaming monitor - Samsung Odyssey OLED G9

Just when we thought gaming monitors couldn't get any better, the Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 smashed out expectations with incredible contrast, colors, and monstrous panel size.

Out of all the monitors we had the pleasure of using in 2023, the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 left the biggest impression - and that's not least due to the fact it's a 49-inch kaiju with an incredible wrap around𒊎 curve. On top of that, the company's OLED panel provides a level of realistic visual prowess that not many screens can come close to♛ matching.

There's a good reason the OLED G9 holds the ultrawide slot on our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best gaming monitor list, and it's down to the way it immerses the senses in supported games. Detailed RPGs like Cyberpunk 2077 will completely trick your peripheral vision when displayed on this panel, providing the next best thing to popping on a gaming headset. Naturally, if you use a gaming PC, you𒉰're going to benefit mo𝔍re, particularly if you enable ray tracing and other fancy effects. However, we also found this screen to be an exceptional monitor for PS5 if used face on at a desk. 

Of course, it's also important to note that the Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 is also 240Hz, 🀅meaning it&apཧos;ll hold up in speedy competitive shooters. That higher refresh rate provides the monitor with a level of versatility that is award worthy, as while the screen undeniably wears a premium price tag, you're getting a lot of functionality crammed into one display. 

Best graphics card - Nvidia GeForce RT🤡X 4070 (PNY XLRB)

We waited a while for a new mid-range champion, and the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 thankfully managed to save the day with affordable new gen GPU specs.

Nvidia's first wave of its new 2023 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:graphics cards really only catered to premium gaming PC enthusiasts. However, the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GeForce RTX 4070 eventually arrived to provide the majority of players with an experience you can actually afford,♎ and the green team's new DLSS 3.5 tech means the GPU can boost fps beyond its native capabilitiesꦛ. 

While testing PNY's version of the RTX 4070, we found that the GPU could hit 120fps in demanding adventures like Control at 1440p thanks to DLSS. Even with the AI suite disabled, the card was still able to achieve around 70fps, providing an impressive uplift compared to the RTX 3070. Magical tools like Frame Generation also help this card dabble with 4K visuals even when handling the latest games, so even if you're on a pretty tight budget, you won't necessarily need to splash out on an 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 to experience new-gen UHD.

Simply put, we think the RTX 4070 is the people's GPU of this generation, striking a more reasonable balance between price and specs. Sure, if you're aiming for cutting edge then you'll want to turn your attention to more expensive alternatives. Nevertheless, if you ask us to recommend a graphics card that'll comfortably tackle new release system requirements for the foreseeable, this is ourඣ pick.

Best SSD - Verbatim Vi7000G

A true underdog - Verbatim made its first Gen 4 NVMe SSD this year and it punched its way to the top of the weight class with speeds that are just as good as the biggest brands.

The 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Verbatim Vi7000G came out of 𝄹absolutely nowhere this year. Verbatim has been a staple of the digital storage and memory sector for ages, but it hasn't exactly✅ tried to insert itself into the gaming market. When the Vi7000G arrived, its value for money blew us away, and in the larger picture of 2023 as a whole, it even outclassed the arrival of Gen 5 SSDs, many of which are still pricey and don't have all that much support yet. 

The 2TB model of this 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:SSD for gaming also works brilliantly as a PS5 SSD thanks to its integrated heatsink, but it's affordability is what really set it apart. Verbatim cuts through the noise o💟f messy SSD prices and charges an honest asking price, which couldn't be truer for the 2TB model. Moreover, this drive packs some great speed too. The PS5 recognized it as one of the fastest drives we've tested, at 6,250MB/s. In a PC, things were even better, with CrystalDiskMark recognizing 7,124MB/s of sequential read. To get those kinds of speeds, you usually have to go for a much bigger brand and pay a lot more money.

We can&aposꦚ;t deny that the disappointing arrival of the WD Black SN850P around the same time did make the spotlight on Verbatim shine a bit brighter. There's an awful lot of price foolery and confusion when it comes to shopping for SSDs these days, and so when a brand puts out an honest drive 𝓡that's priced in a consumer friendly way, it's a shining example that the industry should follow. 

Best gaming mouse - Razer Cobra Pro

Versatility is key here, and the Razer Cobra Pro kicked off the brand's new line of gaming mice with a particularly flexible bang. 

Razer launched a new line of gaming mice this year, with the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Razer Cobra Pro heading up the 2023 range in the summer. Why is it so special? We've been seeing more and more of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best gaming mouse models pidgeon-holed into specific use-cases in the last few years. You're either pickingꦗ up a super lightweight FPS-first mouse that's light on buttons, super skinny, and built for speed over customization or a ma🍬cro laden beast of a pointer designed for MMO fans. If your playstyle doesn't land in either camp you can feel stuck. 

Enter the Cobra ꦰPro. This is a relatively lightweight (77g) mouse with the sensor quality of a speedy FPS-first mouse. But it's also got the larger domed form factor of a pointer designed for a more relaxed palm grip, and the programmability of a more flexible device. Throw in dual wireless connectivity through both 2.4GHz and Bluetooth, up to 170 hours of battery life, and additional grips to each side of the taller body and you've got a supremely versatile device. This is truly a jack of all trades gaming mouse - and that's not something we see all too often. 

There have been some excellent gaming mice launched in the last twelve months, but none have provided such a well-ꦬrounded spec sheet. The Razer Cobra Pro could cater to𒐪 pretty much anyone in the market, and perform well in each use-case. That makes it our top pick for 2023. 

Best gaming keyboard - Asus ROG Azoth

A hot-swappable gaming keyboard with all the trimmings, the Asus ROG Azoth kickstarted a new custom revolution this year.

We've seen many of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best gaming keyboards introducing hot-swappable switches to their range in 2023, but Asus kicked off the party in January with the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:ROG Azoth. It's stood the test of time, going toe to toe with more recent releases frꦿom Corsair and Razer to offer up the best typing and gaming experience on the market right now. This is a particularly special deck, from its super slick, almost soft linear switches to its high-end PBT keycaps and faultless wireless connection. 

It's a premium package, but no other gaming keyboard released this year offered up the same all-in-one feature set and the build quality and feel of the Azoth. Those ROG NX swit🍰ches play a big part in the overall appeal of this typing experience, but even switching them out for a set of clicky blues we were still enjoying a♕ tight 75% form factor with all the necessary controls and then some. From the programmable control switch in the top righ tcorner to the digital display next to it, we were still finding neat quality of life improvements even after we finished our initial testing period. 

Considering these switches are just as springy and the deck just as solidly silent as the day we pulled it out the box, the Azoth can go the distance - and that's not something we can say too often. This isn't just the best gaming deck of the year, it's the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best hot-swappable keyboard we've tested yet. 

Best gaming headset - Turtle Beach Stealth Pro

The Turtle Beach Stealth Pro took the multiplatform world by storm in 2023, offering powerful audio and a suite of extra features. 

After previously building a name in more budget-based gaming headsets, Turtle Beach unveiled its multiplatform mega-headset in the spring. The 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Stealth Pro has gone on to prove itself invaluable in the hands of anyone regularly splitting their time across PS5, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC. It's not quite got the chops of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Ste♑elSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless, but out of 2023's 🧸crop it's certainly the best in the business. 

The hot-swappable battery packs can be rotated in and out of the headset itself (with the other sat charging on the main hub) for 12 hours of charge per pac💞k. That wireless transmitter can connect to ൲everything from PS5 to Xbox, PC to Nintendo Switch, and maintain a high quality connection while doing so. 

We were incredibly surprised to find that Xbox audio came out just as impressive as that of a PS5 or PC - a true rarity in the world of multiplatform options. You're usually getting a headset geared towards a particular console, to the detriment of audio quality across others. That's just not the case here, and we've only ever been able to say that about a handful of devices - making this the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best gaming headset for multiplatform use we've ever tested.

Best gaming chair - Boulies Ninja Pro

If you think that gaming chairs are too firm to be comfortable for longer sessions, you need to know about the Boulies Ninja Pro.

The 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Boulies Ninja Pro has usurped Secretlab's best efforts for us this year, crowning itself the new king of the best gaming chair power rankings. While offering so many of the adjustability and ergonomics features seen in other top brands, Bo𒆙ulies has added a cherry on top - ext🅺remely plush cushioning and materials that feel just as premium as the most expensive seats out there.

In our review, we found that the best way to describe the Ninja Pro is like a warm, friendly hug. As ridiculous as that might sound, it's what the experience boils down to. You feel embraced but the Ninja Pro's cushions, you feel supported by the build quality and ergonomics, and you feel as though you could stay sat in it for h🃏ours. 

All that, and the Boulies Ninja Pro 2024 is more affordable than the other 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best gaming chairs it's overtaken. Where Sec🦩retlab migh🌺t allow you to rep your favorite game or franchise with bombastic officially licensed designs, Boulies looks to sleek and classy colorways that are sure to compliment your existing setups. To us, that's the sign of a true champion.

Best controller - Victrix Pro BFG

The Victrix Pro BFG was released pretty early on in 2023, and since then, it's been the controller to beat. 

This is a gamepad so good it's raised the bar for what modern E-Sports controllers should aim to be. Follꦕowing on from the legacy of the Victrix Gambit controller🧔 for Xbox, PDP went fully modular with the design of the BFG. In our review, we compared it to that old Bruce Lee adage, "Be like water, my friend", because no matter what genre of game you turn this controller to, it has a trick up its sleeve and an attachment in its case to make it the perfect tool for the job. 

Even if the extreme versatility wasn't there, you'd still have one of the most comfortable controllers on the market right now, along with some of the best back buttons ever placed on one. Admittedly, the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Victrix Pro BFG isn't necessaril💟y a controller you'd choose for a more relaxed, laid-back session - because it's stripped back in pursuit of competitive greatness you won't find haptics or trigger resistance. With this in hand, though, the spot atop any leaderboard could be yours. 

All that, and it's noticeably cheaper than the other officially licensed 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:PS5 controllers on neighboring shelves. 

Best VR headset - PSVR 2

PlayStation's second VR device took home the Golden Joystick award for best gaming hardware this year, so it's a clear choice for best VR headset.

We could talk about how PSVR 2 kicked off an amazing year for VR technology. We could say that it arguably reignited the mainstre🌄am gaming crowd's interest in this medium, but in truth, all we have to say is that PSVR 2 is a superb piece of hardware. 

No matter if you use this headset for one of the growing VR games in its library, or you want to fully enclose yourself in the impressive cinematic mode for non-VR content, PSVR 2 is o🐎ne of the best sidekicks the PS5 has to offer. Games like The Last Clockwinder and Synapse come to life thanks to the incredible OLED display of this visor. The same can be said of content in Cinematic mode, with inky blacks and an adjustable screen size completely immersing you in games like Outer Wilds and Returnal.

The graphical fidelity is up there with the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best VR headsets for PCs, but a great VR headset is about so much more than that. The Haptic feedback and capacitive sensors here are innovations that now make ev💮ery other VR device feel as though it's coming up short. Fovea꧂ted rendering is present too, and all of this is in a package that costs a fraction of the price it does for PC VR headsets.

Best 3D printer - Anycubic Photon Mono M5s

A 3D printer that just works... but does much more than that.

It goes without saying that 3D printing is complicated. You see, the actual printing is easy; it's all the prep and troubleshooღting that make things a headache. Almost everyone's felt the pain of a failed print becaus𝓡e the build plate wasn't properly leveled, for example.

That's why the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Anycubic Photon Mono M5s is such a marvel. Alongside a self-leveling build plate, it's crammed with a host of clever self-diagnostic functions that can catch issues (such as not having enough resin to complete the proposed job) long before they happen. As someone who only got into 3D printing a few years ago, that's an absolute godsend. I've had more than my fair shareꦫ of print failures, so it's borderline magical for this thing to just… work. There's no muss and no fuss. Sure, it's not perfect. But a🦹t least I know that if something goes wrong, it's almost certainly my fault.

That's also useful for experts, naturally – there's a lot faff saved with this powerful but reasonably-sized kit. Combine it with high speed resin and you're away; models can be finished in literally less than half the time. Plus, they'll all come out in crisp 12K resolution. That makes it a real contender for our list of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best 3D printers, and certainly the best one from 2023.

Best tabletop game - Disney Lorcana

We can't remember a game that was this hyped or sold so well in a long time. And luckily, it lived up to the fuss.

It always felt as if it'd be easier to break into a vault than the trading card game market. Magic: The Gathering and Pokemon have that arena sewn up, after all – it's widely accepted that they're some of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best card games 🐼ever made, so going up agaiཧnst them is a fool's errand.

Then 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Disney Lorcana arrived.

Pitting a deck of familiar or reimagined Disney characters against each other, there was (understandably) a lot of hype surrounding the project and it quickly became one of the most talked-about releases of 2023. A pre-order rush soon followed, to the point that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Disney Lorcana starter decks became near-impossible to find. And with good reason;🙈 aside from featuring drop-dead gorgeous artwork, the game is so much more accessible than its competition. However, i꧟t still has a strategic edge. 

Rather than being weighed down by jargon that's borderline incomprehensible unless you've been playing for years, the basics are easy to learn. Instead, Lorcana's complexity comes through abilities that are clearly explained on the card themselves. How and when you use these powers is where things get spicy, so it's a solid fit regardless of whether you're a trading ca🌼rd game expert or beginner.

More importantly, it's fun. I argued that Disney Lorcana is💫🐬 the trading card game we need right now earlier this year, and I stand by tha✤ဣt assessment months later. Its fast but thoughtful gameplay is still as compelling now as it was when it first hit shelves.

Best Lego set - Rivendell

There's a reason people's jaws drop when they see this kit – 'impressive' undersells it.

Product shots and social media posts don't do 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Lego Rivendell justice. This is the kind of set that makes people's eyes pop when they see it in person. There's usually an awed &ap꧑os;wow' that Owen Wilson would be proud of as well.

Its size is just the beginning. ꦿAlong with being divided into three massive sections, there are well over a dozen minifigures to populate it. Look closer and you'll find hidden secrets everywhere you look too. Tiny maps of Middle-earth scattered around the study? Check. The broken sword of kings on a pedestal, ready for little Aragorn to wring his hands over? Yep, that's here too. Oh, and don't forget Bilbo's tower bedroom (complete with a tiny writ💝ing desk, his memoirs, and an alternate face to represent that scary 'Gollum' moment). It's a Lord of the Rings fan's dream.

The build-process is every bit as endearing. There's a ridiculous attention to detail here; alongside Easter eggs like an eye of Sauron beneath the council area (it's soon covered up so is purely for fun), the instruction book is crammed with genuinely interesting asides from the design team. That tips an already excellent kit into being one of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best Lego sets overall, and I genuinely💯 can&apo♓s;t think of anything able to equal it.

The annual show gathered attention like nothing else in gaming, from the early days where fans had to read about the news in magazines to the era of low-quality trailer downloads and finally into the age where every press conference was broadcast in its full high definition gl⛎ory for everyone to see. With the world watching, E3 hosted some of the most famous – and infamous – moments in the history of the gaming industry, and there's no better time to look back than right now, as we mourn the convention's passing.

These are the top moments from each and every one of the 26 E3s – though admittedly I'm using a pretty broad definition of "moment" for the show's early years, when we gen🥀erally got our news෴ from the show days, weeks, or even months after the fact. In the '90s, it had become clear that the limited space at the annual Consumer Electronics Show was no longer sufficient to host the gaming industry, so the Interactive Digital Software Association (later to become the ESA) started its own trade show exclusively for the game industry. Over the years, the show would morph from an industry event we read about in magazines to one where the biggest publishers put on massive gala showcases intended for the general audience. Even in those early days, however, some executives had an eye for showmanship.

 E3 1995 – "$299"

It wouldꦏ take several years for E3 to become the media extravaganza we'd eventually know it to be, but there's a legendary tale to be told from this first show. Sega used the nascent conference to announce that its Saturn console would be priced at $399 in the US. Hours later, Sony held a keynote to detail its upcoming entry into the video game market with the PlayStation. Sony executive Steve Race took the stage, uttered "$299," and walked away to raucous applause. This pricing strategy might not be the only reason PlayStation became a runaway success, but Sony's confidence in its new platform certainly aided its appeal for a new generation of gamers.

E3 1996 – Price cut wars

The second E3 would also be the site of a war over price announcements. Early in the show, Nintendo revealed the details of the US release for the N64, which was set to launch for $249. Once again, Sony came in with the undercut, this time to $199. It didn't take long for Sega and Nintendo b♉oth to follow suit. The Saturn was cut to $199 and the N64 eventually launched at that same price. 

E3 1997 – Games, games, games

After failing to secure the Los Angeles Convention Center, the show's organizers moved the whole event to the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta. E3 1997 didn't have much in the way of bombastic, singular moments, but it did have one of the greatest lineups in gaming history. Various publishers were at the show with soon-to-be legendary titles like Half-Life, GoldenEye 007, Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy 7, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Starcraft, and most importantly of all, John Romero's Daikatana. (OK, so maybe that last one didn't really work 𓂃out.) 

E3 1998 – E3 becomes E3

Judged purely on the titles that launched in the year, 1998 was one of the best times in gaming history, and E3 1998 had an incredible lineup – but it's also the time the show started getting a bit extra. Nintendo brought on the B-52s to play at its E3 party. Sony similarly 𝕴brought in the Foo Fighters for its shindig. By , during that show Dave Grohl told a bunch of Sony executives to "take off those damn suits and ties and shake your booty!" That mo🌠ment is maybe not going down in the annals of gaming history, but it's pretty representative of just how big E3 had already gotten by this point. 

E3 1999 – The next generation

E3 had gone Hollywood, so it's only appropriate that it would return to the LA Convention Center in 1999, the venue that would continue to host it for pretty much the entire rest of its existence. There was a shadow over this show, since it took place less than a month after the , which had prompted renewed criticism of violence in video games – criticism that was pretty directly addressed at events like Nintendo's press conference, where marketing EVP Peter Main noted the industr𝐆y's responsibility to effectively communicate age ratings on game packages. The big products on display were the Dreamcast, the PlayStation 2 (🐎then simply known as the Next Generation PlayStation), and the GameCube (then the Dolphin), which would all help mark a new era in gaming. 

2000 – The Metal Gear Solid 2 trailer gives us our first full Kojima moment

It certainly wasn't impossible to get ahold of game trailers back in 2000, but the limited internet capabilities of the era meant that most publishers didn't necessarily have a whole lot of incentive to create🐈 flashy preview videos. Then along came Hideo Kojima. The Metal Gear director's proclivity for hyper-dramatic, extensive trailers started here, with a nearly 10-minute long video previewing the story, gameplay systems, and visual effects of MGS2, all of which were downright mind-blowing in 2000. Konami played the trailer every hour on a giant screen outside its E3 booth. 

E3 2001 – Xbox turns up, but it doesn't turn on

Sony had successfully broken into the console market with the PlayStation a half-decade earlier, but many were skeptical that another contender – in this case, Microsoft's Xbox – would be able to do the same. Microsoft did not make a strong case for Xbox up front. After a press conference where the console itself wouldn't even turn on, on the show floor the company demoed Halo with a dismal frame rate that effectively buried all the qualities that would eventua▨lly make the game an FPS classic. Xbox and Halo eventually turned out all right, but that's no thanks to the first impressions.

E3 2002 – Doom 3 looks like the future

It had been eight years since the release of Doom 2. id Software was already ওknown for pushing the state of gaming technology forward in a major way, and the next entry in the Doom series was sure to be a visual showpiece. Doom 3 did not disappoint – at least, not as an E3 demo. Here was a new Doom game that took the series into grim horror terri🎐tory, featuring moody lightning unlike anything anyone had seen before. Ironically, that's pretty much the reason the release version of Doom 3 ended up being the biggest also-ran of the series, but for a shining moment here at E3 it looked like the future of gaming. 

E3 2003 – Halo 2 makes an impossible promise

Halo, of course, recovered from its disastrous showing at E3 2001, and ended up becoming both the top reason to own an Xbox and the best shooter ever released on consoles to that point. The Halo 2 demo showcased at E3 2002 made it look like Bungie was amping up the first game to an impossible degree, with more cinematic moments and much bigger scale combat. The reality is that it was impossible, and while 🔯Halo 2 turned out mostly great, it never matched the promise of this early demo. That's an E3 story that wou🐼ld sadly end up becoming pretty common. 

E3 2004 – "I'm about kicking ass, I'm about taking names, and we're about making games"

With rare exceptions, E3 press conferences were up to this point dry affairs. Primarily intended as business recaps for media and investors, these presentations didn&🐻apos;t have the bombast and showmanship that we'd eventually come to associate with E3. Then, a new Nintendo of 🌠America president took the stage to say "My name is Reggie. I'm about kicking ass, I'm about taking names, and we're about making games." The show that followed was one for the ages, with highlights of major GameCube releases like Metroid Prime 2 and Resident Evil 4, the reveal of the Nintendo DS, and the famous, hyper-dramatic "blades will bleed" trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, which culminated with Shigeru Miyamoto appearing on stage armed with sword and shield. The stakes for E3 press conferences had officially been raised.

E3 2005 – The Killzone 2 trailer

Halo 2 might've seen an egregious downgrade from E3 video to release, but at least that initial demo showcased what the𝕴 developers were working on for the original console. When Sony first started talking up the PlayStation 3, the most impressive piece was a trailer for Killzone 2. The video looked far too good to be true, and that's because it was. While Sony presented the footage on stage as if it were an accurate indicator of PS3 graphics, years later developer Guerrilla that this video was actually made to imagine "what a first-person shooter game could look like for the next generation. It was meant for internal use only, to be a visionary piece." 

E3 2006 – "$599"

By 2006, broadband internet was starting to become more widely available, YouTube had taken its first baby steps into the world, and it was getting easier for hardcore gaming fans to download press conference footage a💃nd bring the E3 experience home. It was the worst possible time for Sony to put on a show as bad as their E3 2006 press conference. Sure, pricing the PlayStation 3 at "five-hundred ninety-nine US dollars" was a bad idea no matter how many people saw the initial announcement, but the internet's unending mockery of moments throughout thi❀s presentation would haunt Sony for years. Heck, we're still making "giant enemy crab" and "Riiiiiiiiiiidge Racer!" jokes to this day. If you want to fully relive the magic, an HD 1080p archive of the full press conference was earlier this year.

E3 2007 – E3 is dead

"Is E3 dying?" has been a pretty common question in the last decade, but the question really started to be asked in 2007, when the event was dramatically downsized to become the 'E3 Media and Business Summit.' The show floor moved to a hangar in the Santa Monica Airport, attendance was limited, and many of the most notable demos happened behind closed doors at area hotels. A few moments out of various press conferences became legendary – this is when Reggie uttered the words "" and Jamie Kennedy gave the on Activision's behalf – but maybe the most telling moment was the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:E3 funeral hosted by🐭 the short-lived publisher Gamecock. Ironically, Gamecock and its died just a year later while E3 would live for more than a decade to come, but the seed of doubt for the event's future had b🌱een planted. 

E3 2008 – Nintendo's worst concert

This was the year that Final Fantasy went multiplatform, with that would feel like a betrayal to numerous PlayStation loyalists. But nobody remembers that today because console wars are dumb and have never mattered. No, the real moment of E3 2008 was the Wii Music performance at Nintendo's press conference. Motion controls had never looked less fun than they did here, and in front of an audience of harℱdcore gamers who were already afraid Nintendo had gone too far in capturing the casual market, the performance fell completely flat. At least it was an oppor🌳tunity for us all to get to know DJ Ravidrums. 

E3 2009 – "Well BAM, there it is"

If you thought the era when motion-controlled gaming dominated E3 would end as we hit the midpoint of the Wii's life, don't worry – Microsoft was still here to horrifically misjudge the E3 audience, even as the show returned to its original, big-scale format. By 2009, it seemed pretty clear that most of the people watching E3 press conferences were hardcore gaming fans who would feel♑ alienated by lengthy demos for new motion control accessories. Yet Kinect still ended up being the show-closing main event for the Microsoft press conference. It certainly didn't help that the onstage demo didn't even work right, with the motion-mirroring tech leaving an onscreen avatar twisted into a pretzel. And look, I'm sorry, but nobody has ever wanted to see the bottom of an avatar's shoe.

E3 2010 – THAT Konami show

There are bad press conferences, and then there&ap🃏os;s the 2010 Konami E3 presentation. T𒁏here are so many impossibly awkward moments, it's tough to narrow it down to the most iconic bits – "one million troops," the impromptu match between Mexican wrestling legends, the Silent Hill staredown, the overly enthusiastic dance number, and the headless man joke all combined to create an event the likes of which we hadn't seen before or (mercifully) since. 

E3 2011 – Mr. Caffeine

Where to begin with Mr. Caffeine? In this list, presented right after the Konami showcase, Mr. Caffeine almost looks… normal. But it's the "almost" that gets you here. Ubisoft&aꦉpos;s E3 2011 conference had an awkward energy brought about by one pro presenter continuing to give the show every ounce of energy he could muster, even as all the banter sucked and all jokes fell flat. Honestly, I have to salute Mr. Caffeine. May we all aspire to his level of self-confidence. (The rest of us should try for fewer dick jokes, though.) 

E3 2012 – The Last of Us

For years, each E3 had been remembered primarily for its worst moments, but by and large the 2012 show was pretty good. Publishers finally seemed to understand their a🍸udience, and allowed likable hosts to present bombastic, impressive gameplay demos throughout – and there was no demo more impressive than the one for The Last of Us. That demo felt like the ultimate fulfillment for gaming's long chase of cinematic prestige, a surefire sign that gaming had finally grown up. Except, you know, for the raucous exaltation a show packed full of hardcore PlayStation fans showed when Joel blew that one guy's head off. 

E3 2013 – PS4 wins the console war before it even starts

While Sony's missteps with the PS3 had helped make Microsoft's Xbox 360 the generation's clဣear leader, those fortunes reversed in a big way as both companies unveiled their next generation plans at E3 2013. Xbox One led off the show with a 🙈controversial DRM scheme that would see all game purchases – even retail ones – locked to the original purchaser's console, effectively killing the idea of used games entirely. Sony quickly took advantage of public sentiment, highlighting how the PS4 would require no online authentication checks and would let you sell and trade physical games just as you could in previous generations. The Xbox One's DRM system was publicly scrapped by the next week, but even today Microsoft is still struggling to make up the ground its console lost in that moment. 

E3 2014 – Zelda goes open world 

The reveal of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was about as low-key as it could possibly be. Producer Eiji Aonuma spoke about recapturing the feeling of open-ended exploration from the original NES game, and escaping the conventions that had come to define the series. All the while, a wide shot of a hill in Hyrule offered infinite promise in the background. A brief trailer showed off Link's new look and suggested a 2015 release. It's really only with the benefit of hindsight that it's become clear just how significant this reveal was. While Breath of the Wild wouldn't end up lauꦍnching until 2017, it managed to live up to Aonuma's grand ideas and then some. 

E3 2015 – Sony makes dreams come true

For years, Final Fantasy 7 fans had been desperate for a remake. With how much gaming tech had progressed, a new version of the game could surely bring Cloud, Sephiroth, and the whole story to life in a way that far exceeded the original's low-poly models and charmingly goofy dialog. But the idea of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Final Fantasy 7 Remake seemed like it'd be forever relegated to the realm of a "woওuldn't it be cool if." Until, suddenly, it was made re𝔍al on the Sony stage. This conference also hosted other games that at times seemed impossible, like Shenmue 3 and The Last Guardian, but there was no announcement bigger than the new FF7.

E3 2016 – Kojima returns to reveal Death Stranding

The messy breakup between Hideo Kojima and Konami was the biggest gaming news story of 2015, and while we pretty quickly learned that Kojima had set up a new studio and was working with Sony on… something, we had no idea what that something was. T✃hen, finally, at E3 2016, we got the reveal trailer for Death Stranding – and we still had no idea what it was. Honestly, even after all these years I'm still not sure I know what Death Stranding is, but the image of a nude Norman Reedus cradling a baby on an oil-soaked beach remains one of the most audacious visuals in gaming history. 

E3 2017 – Miyamoto makes the Mario + Rabbids director cry

E3 2017 was the first time in the𒀰 event's history that it was officially opened to the public – to some, a long overdue decision, and to others, an indication that nobody quite knew what to do with the show. The press conferenceꦐs were as flashy and slick as ever, but that's why one very human moment stood out so much. Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle director Davide Soliani was moved to tears by seeing his game presented by Shigeru Miyamoto on the Ubisoft stage. Building a rare collaboration with Nintendo's most iconic character and seeing the results come to life at E3, it's easy to see how the weight of the moment hit so hard. 

E3 2018 – "Everyone is here!"

By 2018, it felt as if Nintendo barely needed E3. Its E3 press confer💙ences had long since morphed into Nintendo Direct presentations, delivering big blasts of well-presented news multiple times a year. If you've ever cared about Smash Bros., you probably remember the trailer for Ultimate that boldly declared "everyone is here," confirming that every fighter in the history of the series was reuniting for one mega game. Did you remember that it happened at E3? I sure did𒐪n't, and I can't help but feel that's pretty indicative of where E3's relevance had landed by 2018. 

E3 2019 – "You're breathtaking!"

Back when 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Cyberpunk 2077 was first announced in 2012, the gaming world had little reason to care. At the time, developer CD Projekt Red was known for fiddly PC RPGs with big ambitions and serious flaws. By 2019, things had changed. The Witcher 3 had turned out to be a modern classic, and E3 2018 had given Cyberpunk 2077 one of the . In some respects, seeing another cinematic trailer for Cyberpunk the next year was a bit of a disappointment – but seeing Keanu Reeves take the stage made it all worthwhile. It's arguably the first time it's ever looked like a celebrity ever actually wanted to be on stage at E3, and the easy charisma of Keanu's "you're breathtaking!" audience interaction forever endeared him to the ♛gam🌌ing world. 

E3 2021 – E3 is dead

E3 2020 was canceled, as were effectively all major gatherings across the world in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. While E3 returned in 2021, it was an online-only event, and the usual collection of press conferences from major publishers were also broadcasting in association w🥃ith Geoff Keighley's Summer Gaꦐme Fest. By then, it was clear to pretty much everyone that E3 no longer had a reason to exist.

Everyone, that is, except the ESA, which kept trying to rebuild the show despite repeatedly canceling it. The ESA cited COVID concerns as a reason for not holding an in-person event in 2022, but 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:cancel🔯ed even the idea of an online E3 month🐈s before it was meant to happen. The ESA then partnered with ReedPop, the group that organizes PAX, to reboot for 2023, but 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:E3 2023 was canceled when it "simply did not garner the sustained interest necessary to ex🌼ecute it in a way that would showcase 🐼the size, strength, and impact of our industry."

After the 2023 cancellation, the ESA still insisted that E3 would make a comeback. Until, suddenly, the organization acknowledged that "after more thওan two decaಌdes of E3, each one bigger than the last, the time has come to say goodbye." Some observers had been suggesting that E3 was dead since as far back as 2007, but that prognostication has finally come true. Through all the good and the bad the show has given us over the years, I'm going to miss it. 

E3 helped us learn about some of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best games of all time. Rest in peace, old friend.

On December 12, the ESA announced that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:E3 is officially, permanently dead after 28 years. It's been a tough time for the conference in recent years, with just one event taking place between🤡 2020 and 2023 - mostly due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Regardless of its recent track record, fa൲ns, past attendees, and developers have all taken to Twitter to share their memories of the now-defunct gaming get-together.

One of the most recognized people to react to the news is the Nintendo of America president, Doug Bowser. After sharing the ESA's statement on Twitter, Bowser writes: "For over two de♛cades E3 has had an incredible impact on the gaming industry. It’s hard to overstate the number of unforgettable moments it gave all of us. What a run!"

Death Stranding director and head of Kojima Productions, Hideo Kojima, also took the time to share his memori▨es with the event, writing: "The end of E3 is sad news; we exhibited [Metal Gear Solid] for the first time in Atlanta in 1997. I have participated every year since then." 

Kojima then referenced Metal Gear Solid 2's presentation in 2000, adding: "Without E3, Japanese creators and titles would not have made it to the world as much as they hav🍸e. It was easy to connect with people from all over the world by attending parties and conferences. I have nothing but gratitude. Thank you E3!"

Finally, Michael Douse, director of publishing at 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Baldur's Gate 3 developer Larian Studios, also shared their thoughts about the end of E3. "It’s not that I’ll miss E3 itself (people stopped going because it was a giant economic sinkhole)," the developer writes, "but it was ༺the best *thing* at getting everyone together to show & celebrate games. It was tactile and tangible. It felt official in an otherwise ‘wing it’ kinda industry."

It'll definitely feel different without having E3 to look forward to every summer, but there are certainly a lot of othe🍸r showcases and events to look fo🐻rward to around the same time. There's no denying that Geoff Keighley's Summer Games Fest has basically taken over from E3, as well as the regular Xbox Games Showcases, and all the Nintendo Directs we get scattered throughout the year.

So rest assured, ther♐e will still be plenty of game reveals and announcements to look forward to in 2024.

Speaking of, find out what's on the horizon with our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new games 2023 list.

That comes from , which reports that The Entertainment Software Association (ESA) has deci🐼ded to bring the US-based video game showcase to a close after♊ more than two decades. 

Not long after the story br😼oke, the news has been confirmed on Twitte🙈r. 

"After more than two decဣades of E3, each one bigger than the last, the time has come to say goodbye," a Tweet from the official E3 account reads. "Thanks for the memories."

The fate of E3 has been in question for a while now. The 2020 show was cancele✨d due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and returned in an online-only format in 2021—another attempt to run the show in 2022 ended with total cancelation, once again due to COVI𒁃D. 

There had been some hope for this year after the ESA announced it would be working with PAX organizer ReedPop for future E3 events. Unfortunately, though, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:E3 2023 would be canceled꧑ as it reportedly "did not garner the sustained interest necessary to execute it in a way that would showcase the size, strength, and impact of our industrಞy."

Not long after that, fears began to grow over the fate of E3 2024 after the ESA split with new ওorganizer ReedPop after just 14 months. While the ESA had reportedly told the Los Angeles Convention Center that the sh๊ow wouldn't be returning to that venue in 2024, talk at that point was more about evolution tha𒁏n cancellation.

E3 has changed a great deal over the many years it ran. Once designed as an opportunity for press and industry meꦯmbers to see games ahead of launch, it expanded to include fans of those games in 2017, representing a pivot to being more of a fan event. As time marched on, though, big publishers elected to hold their own showcases around the time E3 ran, whereas othe🥂r shows like Summer Games Fest have stepped in to represent a semblance of what E3 once was.

Meanwhile, The Game Awards has essentially become the winter E3, though it's facing growing pains of its own.

"I do agree that the music was played too fast for award winners this year, and ⭕I asked our team to relax that rule as the show went on," Keighley said in a after soliciting feedback on the show. "While no one was actually cut off, it’s s🍨omething to address going forward."

Awards shows pretty much universally start playing music when the producers feel an acceptance speech is going on too long, and The Game Awards is no exception. The difference with The Game Awards, of course, is that it&🔯apos;s as much marketing palooza as awards ceremony, and time that could've been spent allowing game developers to celebrate their victories was instead allocated to celebrity comedy bits and big budget trailers.

Last year, God of War actor Christopher Judge made a now-infamous eight minute acceptance speech for his best performance award, a moment he got the oppo🌠rtunity to c🐻rack some jokes about this year. This year's uber-fast efforts to get recipients off stage were an apparent response to that, but this was pretty much universally criticized by viewers and attendees. It came to a head when the Baldur's Gate 3 d🐲evs accepted their GOTY award and got the 'please wrap it upꦚ' sig🍷n as the team was paying tribute to a developer who had passed away. 

Here's hoping that The Game Awards finds a better balance between its duties as awards show and marketing event next year - but admittedly we'𒁃ve been waiting for that balance to settle in for a full decade now. 

If you missed the show, here's everything announced at The Game Awards 2023.
